Unknown objects found under seat ???

Hi all,

Found these under the seat of my bike..
As I only picked it up last Saturday I haven't had the seat off
until today when I was cleaning it.

What are these for that I found under the seat?
Probably belong to the previous owner...

 

Probably part of a road side tire repair kit.

 

They're disposable compressed CO2 canisters, for inflating a tire without having to carry around any kind of pump... Or maybe an BB pistol.

 

you can also huff those, use a balloon, fill it up, enjoy, ride.

 

Yeah that makes sense

Thanks PawnBoy

 

Or make Seltzer Water

 

OOOOOooo, that brings back Marx brothers and 3 Stooges memories, huh ???

 

The ride may include part by ambulance or even a hearse. C02 at high levels is toxic unless you are a plant or a tree then it's fine. CO would be a once in a lifetime thrill.

Easy to confuse these common gasses. What you may mean is Dinitrogen Oxide aka nitrous oxide or N02. Laughing gas. Instant HP in a bottle, a fine anesthetic and packaged in similar shape and sized containers for making whipped cream. aka "whippits"

Some dudes to save a few pesos have tried to substitute CO2 capsules for N02 capsules in those whipped cream makers. The CO2 when combined with H2O forms carbonic acid. Great if ya like whipped sour cream with a metallic taste. Not a lot of laughs either.

 

C02 at high levels is toxic

good example of why you don't listen to advice on the internet, especially mine.
