self-pressurizing bicycle tire

[krebs303]

Be great for commuter bikes and such maybe training tires but probably adds to much weight for road racing. Adjustable on-the-fly could prove useful in MTB I would imagine.

PumpTire/ is commercializing the first self-pressurizing bicycle tire. Imagine taking your bicycle out of the garage and never having to fill up the tires or even check the pressure. Or imagine yourself being able to change your tire pressure on-the-fly with a simple adjustment from the handlebars.

I am sitting here trying to imagine what my life might be like if I never had to pump a tire again...man, sounds like easy street max! Of course, what would I do with that extra 60 seconds? The possibilities are endless...
