Almost every station in the UK has by now been equipped with automated ticket machines. The only exceptions that I've come across are bumfuck areas like far east essex and norfolk, and uncivilised backwards wastelands like wales and scotland.

/n/, a nasty creaking noise is eminating from my handlebars whenever I push on them.

Did you crash on these bars or bend or break them somehow? First check I'd do is make sure your headset and all the bolts in your stem are properly tightened. Also make sure it isn't your wheel making noise from loose spokes. If after that you still have the noise, if they're new bars with a brand name, punch it in online to see if anyone else reports the same problem.

Professional Commercial driver here... Move the fuck UP into the merge lane. Dont merge, but do move the fuck up. I would move up just enough to let someone go around, and stand still until its safe. DONT move until its safe, and when someone else has an accident behind you? Be sure to stop, and give testimony that you saw it all, watched it happen, and so sorry that some dumb fuck was so stupid.

Even if you don't have a merge lane, you should pull up to the line and come to a stop rather than creeping up to it. You won't save any time, but you will back up traffic behind you.

>>271082 i am reading this and realizing I did not make anyhting clear at all.
You should pull up so you don't back up traffic behind you.
When you idle, you are unpredictable.
If you're idle-rolling, you're a hazard.
All these clarifications in mind, please re-read

>>270996 Stop where you are, don't pull up into the merge lane - you'll need that road space to accelerate to match the traffic when your gap appears, otherwise your handful of merging drivers behind you will turn into a brake force wave on the mainline.

Is it possible to get a replacement for this part somewhere? It's a seat post bolt from a Nishiki International.

Any decent bike shop will have those. Pretty universal.

>>270910 Are you sure?
I've been to three bicycle shops, and neither of them had any. One guy gave me a normal bolt with a nut and some washers instead, while talking about how 'original parts like that are impossible to find.'
Do you know of an online place that has some? I live in Norway, so I guess it would have to have worldwide shipping.

Skateboarding thread? Longboarding and cruisers accepted.

It's weird to me that a lot of you are saying that longboards are for old people. I've never seen an older person on a longboard, just people ages 18-22. But then again, I live next to a university.

I was biking to work today and saw a young woman pushing herself with an oar type of thing on a longboard. WTF is that, and is it getting trendy?

Can anyone show me the motions for a kickflip, or give me a good kickflip tutorial video. I just don't understand them. I can heelflip some of the time, (most of my tricks come from nollies n ollies), but when I try to kickflip, I dont get enough rotation, and when I do, it flies forward. Another thing with my heels, when I do them, my board gets a rotation, but I can't catch it, only my front foot does. Ive done a few rolling and one off a ledge, but when I try it in SKATE i fail hopelessly. Please help me. :(

>>270989 I think what people are saying is that longboarders are older than the stereotypical skateboarder...I've seen people from 18 to 50 on longboards...mind you, the 50 year old pretty much did the same exact style of skating back in the 70's.

>>271050 They did mention it in the ad but only as "crack marks on the steering column but under sticker so i don't know whether its the sticker or frame"
I had to request more photos but i might have a go asking if they can take the sticker off.
