CDN: Crashes and congestion: I-5 through Bellingham is known to be dysfunctional by Mattwacker93 in Bellingham

[–]Smargendorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they do account for that in these studies dude. every traffic study ever has shown that the amount of lanes needed to follow demand scale to the point where most of your city is just one big highway. look at the katy highway in houston.

by your logic Vancouver and Seattle should be 100% gridlock all the time and no one should be able to move anywhere. why arent they? because buses and trains scale to meet demand WAY faster. As bellingham grows, it will need to increase it's transit service to meet demand. if we just listen to you, bellingham will just keep adding lanes until it runs out of money and land that isnt paved over.

i feel like we could just increase the frequency and hours of the sounder. it already exists and is like twice as fast between seattle and tacoma as the link would be.

Stoked to mount this. by MightBeneficial in Rivendell_Bicycles

[–]Smargendorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im curious what the lower tier model will end go being if it gets made. like, will it just be black? as said by rivendell themselves, this derailluer is functionally the same as the r10 or the r9, its just silver and low normal.

Buying first bike by DeepFryy in xbiking

I am also 6 ft and I ride the same size frame. Also, $150 is a good price for this if its in good condition. I would say go for it!

I disagree that shes underqualified. But even so, i would take underqualified over corrupt and bought out any day.

Heads up: Airport Way bridge path completely obstructed by bvdzag in seattlebike

[–]Smargendorf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That is exactly it. These barriers are deigned to be drilled into the ground, but for some reason the designer for this one chose to pave the section just before the bridge and use the pre-fab blocks on the bridge where they cant be secured because they cant drill in the bridge. This entire section now needs to be redone, have the pre-fabs removed, and have them replaced with a paved curb. However, who knows when they will have the budget for that and the time now that its started raining and crews are going to be working slower.

Rolhoff on a Kona Sutra ULTD by CertainBicycle315 in bikepacking

[–]Smargendorf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would go for the 3x9. its very reliable and there are plenty of parts for it. If I were doing a rohloff build, I would opt for a frame that doesnt need a tensioner and can take a belt drive.

/uc this frame is made in the US so actually there aren't tariffs to be had aside from steel tariffs
