When you throw them into the water, that is?! The tires would be large enough, right?

 

[Schmucker]

Possibly. By my rough calculations it would seem to be the case... of course they'd float upsidedown. In a pinch you could probably fjord a river, but you'll probably lose an oxen.

I could just toss mine in my pool but I don't think I want to. Water will premeate in and I don't want to chance wrecking anything.

I reckon they would, years ago when my Specilised Epic was stock I hit a deep water hole off a blind jump, ('spose one should check these things first....) a deeeep water hole,:madman: anyway after I'd found my way to the surface, there was my bike, floating happily beside me.I was pleased as it only had about 5KM riding time! As the Pugs has at least 3 x the air I had at the time I'd say it's a sure bet. BTW it was after that little dunk I discovered another use for condoms....wrap the mobile (cell) phone in it. Still use it today, works great, pop it in tie it up and voila its " Hi, just calling on the Condo Phone..." can talk and hear right through it! :thumbsup:

Al, a zip-loc bag works just as well, less expensive too. When partying my biddy always bags his cell, as he usually find a pool to jump in when drunk... Find a better use for your (new) condoms...

I,ve been contemplating the posibility of removing my "endo" tubes at a remote lake or stream on a hot day; tieing them together and going for a float! you should be able to ford a river - side stroking & dragging the bike along I would think?

i paddled across a small river estuary lying on the pugsley a couple of weeks ago!,batterys on camera had died just before ,bars and seat were under and my upper body wieght was over the front frame triangle and the framebag-which didnt leak :thumbsup: good job as camera in there,i paddeld with feet,just like a log floating!,will get it again on film and post soon,

coastkid - I cracked up when I read the above post! Way to be man. Now thats all around usage of a pugsley!! I,m gonna have to try that before winter sets in. Mabey even take some of those kids arm band floats (inflatable type) along...put them around the seat post,fork legs,etc. for a little extra floatation. Gonna have to get a water- proof housing or bag for the cam. gear to self-film that.

keep the round side down

[coastkid71]

[velopax]

Maybe CK got bored

 

[coastkid71]

heres the film guys! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hVeI5s75lU
if i had my tent on the rear rack and sleeping bag and thermarest on the front which are in dry bags i reckon it would float better,i had no steering whatso ever! but you could float across a river or even down to the coast so maybe it could be a lifesaver in an adventure emergency

 

[alanm]

CK, Great stuff :thumbsup: What a hoot
