The amount that the average /. community member gets out on a bike is shown by "Yes there are Kevlar
tires that are as thin as your thumb and cost $200, hold 100 PSI air pressure, and rarely go flat,
but they don't count."

Er...last time I looked, Kevlar belted tyres [1] cost about the same as normal ones.

[1] and they're not the best way to prevent punctures either - Vredestein have highly puncture
resistant tyres that don't use the stuff, and Kevlar belts really increase rolling resistance
because they're so stiff.
