Surface pressure...

<< < (2/3) > >>

rollazuki:
Makes for an interesting thought doesnt it?

Jokes aside, if the calcs are correct, it makes us look quite low impact doesnt it. Itd be good to check the figures , and compare bobble hat, to horse, to mountain bike, to trials bike , to 4x4, to tractor.

I bet a mountain bike has a high ground pressure. Man+bike, and a smaller footprint than a mans foot..........

Llanigraham:
I seem to remember this was studied a couple of years ago, and it was found that the worst was
mountain bike,
then,
Trail bike
horse (not pony)
tractors
people
4x4's

However a lot depended on the type of surface, and I think the tests were done on a normal grass field.

Sure it was published in one of the 4x4 mags

Has now been proved that walkers with "ski poles" are now causing thousands of Pounds worth of damage in the Lake District .

Range Rover Blues:
Those poles should be used to skewer the bloody hikers.

Thats me F###ed then seeing as I get involved with most of those activities. The only one I don`t do is tractors :shock:

Nice to se that Steve's (V8Moneypit) Saturdays at work are so eventfull, save for "surface presure" calculations and some idiot with the wrong clutch! for his SANTANA SJ......

I should go laning now, technically the least surface presure I will ever create, (no Gearbox, Clutch, Front or Rear Drive shafts, Transfer Box and a bucket load of bolts, nuts and washers) Nice weight reduction!
