Since folding bikes have smaller tires and the tires have more revolutions for the distance traveled, do they wear out faster than 650's or 700's?
I wondered this after seeing a folding bike in town :)

Yes. We're doing really well to get 1k out of our Bike Friday tires - and they aren't any less expensive...

Do you really think your mother is going to wear bikes out?
No, it was an unrelated question that occurred to me when I saw the small tires. It is highly unlikely that she will ever wear out her tires ;)Quote:
