I've boxed up the bike ready for tomorrow's flight and realised that I haven't deflated the tyres as the airline says I should.
I have a vague recollection of a cycling science boffin hereabouts saying that it's a load of old cobblers about needing to deflate tyres for a plane journey.
So, can anybody tell me? If I leave my tyres pumped up in the box as they are right now, will I arrive at my destination alive and not having to go through the pumping rigmarole when I reassemble, or will the pressure in my pneus blow at 35,000 feet causing an aviation atrocity over the English Channel?
