That explosion must've been awesome. Did any of the neighbors call the police?
I expected them to come, but nothing happened.

Not quite as good as it was.

What ?
What ? If I was holding it that would have presented a new set of problems, the bottle broke into a few pieces. The good thing was, It was attached to the frame with the velcro strap around the bottle, that kept the pieces from going flying.

Must be.
Even though mine was old, it was on a bike I don't use much. Others would have more cycles on them and be exposed to more weather than mine. I suspect I was no where near the first one.
BTW...
I saw a two trumpet truck air horn mounted on a bike once. It was powered by a bicycle floor pump attached to the bike. The floor pump provided plenty of air, it worked fine. Inconvenient to use, you need to grab the pump and pull the handle, but it worked great.
