Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If you don't discard it now, the rest of the CO2 will just leak out anyhow, and leave you disappointed the next time you try to use it.

I didn't add 2 + 2 correctly the first time I used one. Apparently the hole in the used cartridge was smaller than the one in my head.
