There was a nail sticking out of the road at like a 45 degree angle. Armadillos are hard to break.. Vic, I’ve seen an Armadillo puncture once (not mine).

Not sure what brand, They are not invincible,I've had one puncture. But just one. That's close to miraclous. You only really need them on the back wheel, at least for a touring/racing bike. It's the loadbearing wheel that takes the punishment. (Dunno about offroaders that really go offroad. Maybe they front puncture enough to need kevlar) I discovered kevlar tires a couple of years back. Not sure what brand,

They are nice insofar that you won't get many flats, but they are pretty heavy for any serious road-cyclists that have a bike that only weighs 6-7 lbs to begin with.

Pretty cool, I will pass this on. I know a guy who is a triathlete, when we have gone to watch him race he would always blows out tires. Pretty cool, I will pass this on.

I bet he's never heard that one before!

I think the next step for your Bike could be a Screen (even perhaps internet access) on the back of the bike so people who follow you can watch the latest searches being done through Google or something. Cheers Stephen Matt

“if someone came after me with a gun, I could probably hide behind my bike”
