    Those things are pretty strong, they don’t just break when falling over. Chances are the cyclist would still lose. Better replace it with a landmine, or something else that really explodes when getting hit.

      Realistically nothing happens. The pressure relief valve does not matter, as the track itself has to fail from the impact. Nobody is going to uniformly squeeze it to build pressure to make it rupture, where the valve would open. A fire cooking it for minutes means you are either already burned crispy or simply not near anymore. But in that case at least we get a nice explosion.

      But really nothing happens, there is nothing to crush it. A bike will just give way and the tank flies off. You need either a ton of inertia behind it or 2 vehicles pancaking you.

    I always loved in Snowcrash the key antagonist drove around on a motorbike with a side car with a ex-soviet nuke wired to a heart beat monitor. Security companies spent their time not trying to stop him but trying to stop his numerous enemies from trying to kill him

    Sure its going to be a bit of a fizzle when the tritium decays but still gonna make one hell of a hole in the road if someone dares to hit him.

    Like that dude in Snow Crash who has a niclear bomb for a motocycle sidecar.
