       @jannem @danluu Yes! Bikes for enthusiasts are all narrow sleek racing things, but every deliveroo rider near me has these fat tyres that look like they could run over landmines and not feel it.Big change in how we look at bikes, definitely I'll be going for big tyres on my next one.

       @divclassbutton @jannem @danluu It's funny to me that pro bicycle road racers have on the one hand not generally adopted something that could be a serious race advantage, but on the other hand do use lower-pressure tires (and maybe wider ones) on their bikes when they're doing 'classics' races over cobblestones. They've at least noticed that they race better some of the time.
