@ascentale @DeltaWye @bikenite #BikeNite A7. I go by the "10 year rule" which is the rule for car tires, even if not driven. Or earlier if you see any sign of aging or it was stored outside in UV light. I made the grave, grave mistake (fortunately without a crash) of driving around on my road bike's 40+ year old tires, where it practically crumbled into bits and where the tube was so soft it would not detach from where it had melted into the tire itself. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. 😬

@ai6yr @AE4WX @ascentale @DeltaWye @bikenite ew!

@annehargreaves @AE4WX @ascentale @DeltaWye @bikenite That's what happens when you stop bicycling for 20+ years and decided to start bicycling again, lol (on your original bicycle you bought in high school). And where you don't know what you are doing. (thankfully, #BikeNite exists... which really has brought me up on the learning curve).
