    10:14 reason being is that on the west coast they have wet hydrants compared to the north east coast which they have dry hydrants, the difference is the wet hydrants store water up to the hydrant itself, whilst dry hydrants have the water stored underground and then a valve gets released to flow the water. Only reason is due to the cold weather, and water freezing, I’m a retired firefighter and we got training on both types

    My husband and I love driving out ebikes behind business buildings like alleys. Its so interesting whats behind them. We drove a few times in ghetto areas and in bad parts of flint MI filled with gang looking graffiti and run down areas but with fancy cars. We try to stay out of those areas. It was mostly because we did not know better but still love the riding the bikes behind strip malls and in industrial areas just to see whats there. Places we would not take our cars. Love your channel. So awesome

    the hydrant has it's own valve down below it(or should). If there isn't a valve directly to the hydrant, next recouse is to find the closest valve to the hydrant to shutdown that segment of water line.

    Child of the 80s here. If you glue a playing card to the front frame so it's just above the wheel, you will never again be sprayed by water from below on your bike.
    This works well with the front tire. The back tire is less of a problem.

    You isolate the line first. Most likely some valves downstream that can be closed. Or maybe also some upstream and redirect flow. If that isn’t possible I would assume they would create a temporary bypass line by hot tap stopple method. So that they can work on the broken hydrant (while it’s not spraying). Most likely parts just need to be replaced and maybe some welding. Utility lines are easy to fix though.

    Hydrants are secured with or should be secured with hollow bolts and very easy to break off. There's a failsafe. valves down the line that can be turned off. It's just getting the people out to do it.

    Surrons look fun, and it looks like they have no rules in some cities. Re stopping the rogue fire hydrant they simply cut thread into the pipe that is broken and than screw a cap over it...I THINK thats how it goes. Then a new hydrant can be screwed to the new pipe whenever it gets there. Gross yea, Imagine all the stuff floating in L.A back streets?

    About getting the door opened on you there is a new rule in england about it. if you open the right side of door dont use the right hand use your left and same if on left side use your right. the reason is if you use the closest arm example right hand opened right door your going to be opening it at a reasonable force, but if open it with left hand on right side door it wont be as forceful as your using the opposite hand. you could do a video of you delivering the Suron (Sir Ron lol) to the person who won if they are in USA. You could ride it to their home.
