    Tyres last about a year, so this sounds fine

        Yup, same. I bought Schwalbe Marathons a few years ago and haven’t needed new tires since. They’re kinda heavy and don’t ride as nice as other tires, but flats aren’t an issue anymore.

      Either you bike a lot, or you use very thin tires. I bike occasionally, and I still have the original tires on my bike that I’ve had since I bought it in 2018, I think.

        How do you get your groceries? How do you get to work?

        Once per year is pretty typical for folks who use bikes.

          For those I typically drive because there’s no good way for me to do it by bike. But I also put a few hundred miles on per year biking recreationally on a variety of surfaces.

            So, yeah, you basically don’t use your bike
