Yes, that is what he's saying.

Even in an unpressurized hold, the change in pressure in a normally-inflated tire is very small. The actual blow-off ("BANG"-inducing) pressure of your tires is much higher than the max stamped on the sidewall.


The "ban" on pressurized containers is actually not a full-on ban. You can (or at least, could...stuff keeps changing, those pesky terrorists) carry on pressurized containers of hair spray, shaving cream, and other aerosols. Some pressurized containers, such as scuba tanks, containers with flammable gases, and such are prohibited, because the effect of them rapidly losing pressure is extremely hazardous. But that effect is similar on the ground, too, which is why many tunnels, bridges, etc. also have bans or restrictions on these things. Going to 40,000 feet with them doesn't increase the chance that they'll rapidly lose pressure; it's the consequences of that possibly happening that is the reason for the ban. For example, if a scuba tank were to have its valve broken off, that rapid loss of pressure (thrust) could easily put a hole in the side of an aircraft, and the consequences of that are pretty bad, hence the ban. But the consequence of a bike tire rupturing is nothing more than a bang, at worst.
