You can't breathe when you are too deep. The outside water pressure is too great for your diaphragm muscles to overcome. I remember a Bill Nye Science Guy video from middle school where he tried to use a garden hose as a snorkel. The further down you go, the less you can breathe.

Also, wouldn't a big-ass bag of air be crazy difficult to keep under water? Try keeping a beach ball under water...

Holy Crap!!! It comes with a bulldozer!

The 12 speed was mostly an example to say it's a durable system. I also have a Resto-Modded Schwinn road bike from the 80's with a modern 11 speed Shimano set up.

Theres a benefit gained from ditching the front derailer. One-by systems use a narrow wide chainring on the crank to better hold the chain. Paired up with a clutch in the derailer, you'll never have the chain come off in rough riding.

I'm a large (6'4" and 280lbs) and pretty powerful rider and my 12 speed Sram/Shimano systems hold up very well.

Because conservatives base all their economic beliefs around "Trickle Down" economics. They are still holding on to that concept. Or at least that's what they tell the public.

What is it actually? Is it some price of industrial equipment that just happens to look like a Johnson? Or is it part of a parade float or something?

Someone complimented a shirt I was wearing, a long time ago. That was pretty cool.

Tiny water balloons filled with brake fluid.

I can smell the overpowering powdery perfume from this picture.

Didn't say it was.

 

Just picked up this 2024 Triumph Thruxton. Been an amazing machine so far!
