It strikes me as strange that the owner of this Hummer-branded bike would ride it to this location on a regular basis in such a condition. I have seen this bike at this intersection nearly every morning I come to work and every day both the front and rear tires have been completely flat!
Many people here ride their mamachari bikes with very low air pressure in their tires; they don't seem to know or care that properly-inflated tires on bikes, as on cars, dramatically increase "fuel economy" and safety by reducing friction and rolling resistance. Having properly inflated bike tires makes a world of difference whether you are grinding up hills, screaming down them, on an epic ride, or simply zipping to the station.
Let's embrace inflation!
I love you.
