Bike Tires

Bike tires come in a variety of shapes and sizes. For off-road cycling tires are wider and have knobs to absorb shock. The width also helps keep the rider balanced.

Road bikes have thinner bike tires. These help the cyclist move more quickly. The thinnest tires can be found on racing bikes.

Cyclists should know how to repair bike tires in case of an accident. Be sure to carry a tire repair kit in case a tire is punctured. This is especially important for long road trips in remote locations.
