Not without consuming most of the contents of LarrySellerz's saddle bag.
If you do so, you will see alien remains, and he will have room for a spare tube, so it would be a classic win-win.

@LarrySellerz threads are great ... a wonderful test of discipline. And it really does take discipline ... there are so many points to refute, so much illogic, so much falsehood .... but I know that the real point of these posts is to get attention.
I failed this time ... hopefully I will do better next time, and not reply at all.

Also, based on the first couple posts...
- Larry rode 3 miles on a totally deflated tire 16 minutes. Averaging over 11mph on a popped and completed deflated rear tire seems pretty impressive...or incorrect.
- Larry popped his tire right as he left work. He then says he couldnt repair the flat until he got home and then rode back to work. So apparently work is the only place he can repair the flat...and he got the flat right when he left work. Why not walk the bike back to work and fix it?

It all makes sense. I didn't have a new tire at work. but intended to go to the bike shop from work today and pick up a bike and was going to buy a tire there. I remembered my parents house after I posted to I went there to replace the tube. Also 11 MPH sounds about right, I was trying to catch up to a MTB that passed me.

Just FYI people who have looked into it generally think they are housed in Sector 4 just south of Groom Lake, it is near area 51. Read about Bob Lazar/Project Aquarius for further info, although much of it has been scrubbed. This is a good documentary that hasn't been erased yet.

I absolutely love that Larry apparently took pictures of this disaster and decided to log onto BikeForums and start a thread, in the middle of this struggle, and asked others how far they have ridden as if this is just a normal conversation topic.
Also, based on the first couple posts...
- Larry rode 3 miles on a totally deflated tire 16 minutes. Averaging over 11mph on a popped and completed deflated rear tire seems pretty impressive...or incorrect.

This place has become 90% entertainment and 10% value.

Larry's long troll here on BF can give us a laugh, a cringe or just annoy us but it highlights an uneasy reality. Nearly half the population has intelligence below average. Ponder that with the usual percentages of true derangement and it's amazing we can function as a society. So thanks Larry (and a few others) for reducing these universal issues into the nutshell of BF.

Semantics. If one has average or above intelligence but repeatedly make poor judgments, what adjective would you use in lieu of "stupid"?

Merriam-Webster has nearly 50 adjectives for stupid and sadly they all seem to apply.

It is illogical and irrational action- one after another after another.
Hope your rim still works.

Anything is possible but we can only judge by what you post. Clearly the character you are portraying here does stupid things.

I think that the lesson to be learned here is that if you ride things until they break or wear out, they will break or fail when they wear out

Your above-average intelligence doesn't seem to be affecting your propensity for making unintelligent decisions.

Claims by somebody about their intelligence are meaningless. Somebody's intelligence should really be a conclusion based on observing what that somebody does. The evidence you provide voluntarily doesn't help you.

Well, I cannot imagine how any fertile member of the opposite sex could possibly resist breeding with a broke, room-sharing, and late on rent professional courier of gourmet organic produce procured from local food bank and transported in bags hung from the shifter hood of a "cheap" $3k Wilier CF bicycle.
Hanging bags from hood - Bike Forums
Especially if said professional courier was riding shirtless.
