1. Helium, not "Heleum".
2. If you inject it into the tyre, nothing will happen. You need to inject it into the inner tube.
4. It takes about one quart of helium to lift just 1 gram or 0.03 ounces of weight. So in order to lift a human, you'd need a lot of helium -- about 13,000 gallons to lift a 110-pound person (50,000 liters to lift a 50-kg person). And you'd need a little more than that if you wanted to make the person rise and not just hang slightly above the ground.
9. You would reach a level where the density of the surrounding atmosphere would be in equilibrium with the lift you are generating, meaning you would just float at that level, without escaping the atmosphere.
5. Your tyres/inner tubes would have to be ridiculously huge (think the size of a small room) to lift you and your bike, anyway.
3. Fucking le.
6. ????
8. PROFIT

Not everything has to be scientifically correct. That's why it's funny because it is not true. Also you would not necessarily have to inject helium into the inner tube because they do have things called sealed tires on bikes just like cars so please don't try and spoil it with your scientifically copied comments because quite frankly I know it isn't true and I don't need you to tell me.

squirtygoat (02/11/2012) [-] Sealed tyres on bikes are something of a rarity nowadays, often used only for professional racing/road bikes. Most bikes like you or I use have inner tubes, because that is the de-facto standard, as "tubular" tyres, as you are refering to, are a pain in the arse to fix.
Technically, in this case, the tyre acts as the "inner tube". If you just injected it into a normal tyre, the helium would just escape through the seal between the rim and tyre wall.
Also, the only reason I posted was because you misspelled Helium.

No, grammar affects the formation and structure of sentences, and the general overall readability. For example;
I don't know nothing (bad grammar)
I don't know anything (good grammar)
Spelling, on the other hand, is when a word is composed correctly from letters, in the univerally recognised way. For example;
Heleum (Wrong spelling)
Helium (Correct spelling)
I don't know nothing (bad grammar)
I don't know anything (good grammar)

Yes, but I am entitled to my viewpoint, as are you.
It still doesn't change the fact that I pointed out his spelling, not his grammar.
Also, why bother voting down all my posts? Only you and I are ever going to see them, given this post only has +4 toenail clippings...
