So my second bike trailer has absolutely proved itself out. But I'm still using the original tyres that had been abandoned outside with the frame for like two years. They have very little usage wear, but do have a zillion cracks in the sides.

What I've done 'til now is coat the sides with a tube of heavy-duty outdoor silicone glue I had left over from something else. The tyre sides are not bulging when inflated, and also weren't bulging before the glue. And the cracks are all covered.

This seems to be working fine, but it feels like I'm asking for trouble and if I want to be smart about it I really, really should replace them. They're a standard size so I can.

Am I in fact asking for trouble or is this probably fine?

There’s been a steady 20 km/h #southerly #wind today and so normally I would have been silently cursing as I was peddling south on quite a long stretch of #CyclePath. However the temperature has been in the mid 20s, with some sunny spells and so it felt absolutely delightful as it took much the heat away from my body.

E-bikes have become a popular way to get around Alameda, and safety starts with making informed e-bike purchases and following the rules of the road.

BTW... I will always prefer to get lost on trails over hills, even for a few hours, than to spend weeks in a concrete jungle known as the megalopolises of modernity... 🍃🚲⛰️
