There was a bikerafting article in STW a year or two ago.

Looked pretty scary for me balancing a bike with lots of sharp metal bits, across a lightweight single skin inflatable boat.

If it bursts, even if you can swim to the shore, your bike is ending up at the bottom.

Not if it's a Fatbike. 😉

In practice, it's simple to keep any pointy bits off the raft.

Surely a puncture would result in wild oscillating movements accompanied by a high pitched farting sound

Or at least I'd like to think so

These are not comforting thoughts to a packrafter.   Did anyone see the straight line race across Man and the fate of the blow up duck?
