So, after yesterday’s opening whine about potholes, something on the whole more positive. The Pneumatic Tyre. It was, actually, pneumatic tyres that were the problem yesterday. I’d pumped them up to a probably-too-inflated 5 bar, so I was flying along the road. But I didn’t have all that much suspension as a result.
Anyway, that said, isn’t it wonderful, something that can change efficiency and comfort on the road with just a puff of air. That makes the bike (or, I suppose, car) grip the road so well. That cushions and protects.
The pneumatic tyre is an astonishingly wonderful thing. One of the world’s greatest inventions. And too rarely credited.
This is a real non-post for my second entry, but I just wanted to comment on how much it improves my life.
