Bicycles on Planes - Stupid Question of Week

[CrimsonEclipse]

Sounds like good reasoning, but then explain http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/8803/fcometcr.htm?200618#g-alyy .

PSI may sound like a small number 7psi differential for instance.
The try to open a 5'x3' door while pressurized. 60"x36"x7psi=15120
pounds of force.

Also, the comet has a design fault, read the report. Metal fatigue, square
windows etc.

The comet still flys in the form of the British Nimrod*

Unless u have one of those sssssssssssssssssuper gay folding bikes that Sportys sells.

Seriously, I wouldn't be caught dead on one of those.

I'd like to see an airplane with a nose compartment that can fit a bicycle, if you show me one, i'll eat my hat.

C-404

(here's the salt)

BTW.
If you think someone is gay merely because his bicycle folds, then you're
probably in the closet.

Riding bikes is awesome. Anyone around Austin want to take a flying/cycling trip anytime soon?

A more universal question, what is everyone out there riding?

My equipment:

Cannondale R1000 with full 10spd Ultegra group (including cranks...truvativ stock sucks)

Specialized Stumpjumper FSR '06 base model, full stock

Specialized Langster for getting around town (48/17)

Trek Folding bike for gay pride week in Austin (I kid)

Hey pal...

Just because you occasionaly bite the pillow, don't drag me down with you. And YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, folding bikes are gay.

Pal? Is that what you Father called you?
Let me ask you, did you cry when he gave you the "special hug"?

I wouldn't mind having one of the Montague folding bikes which have full size wheels. I frequently am flying places with my bicycle, but so far just taking off the wheels has worked, takes up quite a bit of the available space though. I don't care much for the bikes with the small wheels, but whatever works. Frankly, anyone who feels they have to call a folding bike "gay", almost certainly has some maturity issues, at the very least.

Sometimes I think that some of the people that post on this place are just plain "dorks". Does that date me? Two words... "Grow Up"!

WWW.DOWNTUBE.COM Full suspension and folds small enough to fit in a hardshell suitcase. If that is "gay", then there must be a lot of "happy" riders

If a 7psi pressure differential is enough to split open a Comet (even with the metal fatigue) then might it not also do the same to a bicycle tire?
