Pre-COVID the upside of biking to work was to get the ride in with only a 30% penalty over the time to drive to work. Now the alternate to biking to work is ten seconds to stroll into the home office. Gonna be tough next week when it gets cold and the workday starts nice and early again. 😢

I always start strong and fizzle by February. 😬

Anyone other than myself feel that commuter tires eventually lose their flat-deflecting powers when they are very worn? For sure that has been my experience, not sure if the kevlar belt weave opens up or there is so much shit that has worked its way into the tire ( tiny pieces of wire, staples, glass etc ) that it pushes through eventually

what tires are you using exactly? also, are you running tubes or tubeless? i've got tubeless terravail cannonball's on my commuter (they are basically durable casing gravel tires) and they've held up great! that said, i haven't done nearly as much crazy urban commuting as you have!
