Pedaling a regular bike

(1/4) > >>

Norm:
I pedal a bike down our street like once a week....tires looked
like they could use a little bit of air...New tire on back...Just bought
the new tire last year any bike tire I have under 10 years I consider new !

Anyway I hook the little 12 volt inflator to it and turn it on....being a new
tire and out in the sunshine, my glasses on I happened to notice
inflate 45-65 psi. oh ? here I've been inflating 25-35 all this time!

.....Oh well if it says so guess 45 psi won't hurt?

......trying it out....hey it is a lot easier....going down the street....pedaling
back up the street I always noticed that I was pedaling up a slight upgrade....
Not this time ?....Hey when did they slant this street downhill ....both ways !

I guess I'm used to pedaling the PedGen because with the tires inflated to
proper pressure ....I'm wondering what kind of wimp would need an E-bike ?

It's so easy.... no need for any kind of assistance electrical ....or even multspeed
......hmmm  direct drive...no coaster brake?   ....nah not quite ready for that tho.. :)

Norm:

passes E. Wiley Coyote....) ?

ghurd:
Racing bike tires go up to like 130PSI, or more
Some of the time trial nuts put them up to
like 150~170PSI.
Not uncommon to hear them "POP" just sitting around
the parking lot, with nobody even near them!

Norm:
Why don't they just pump 'em full of cement?
and be done with it  ::)
