Bullet Proof

Well, almost. After the fiasco of the other night I decided to get my ass in gear and order the new tyres. So went for Schwalbe Marathon Kevlars which are supposed to be almost bullet proof. Hopefully, this will drastically reduce my chances of an unplanned deflation (bar pinch p&nctures and faulty valves). The tyres are nice, they look like they belong to the bike (with it being a cross bike rather than a road bike, the 700 x 32c has reduced the gap between the forks). They have a reflective strip which should make me look like something out of Tron when I'm riding in the dark. Went out on a route that takes me about an hour to do on my road bike. It took me the same time, so that's cool, but I did notice the difference with the rolling resistance. As soon as I stopped pedalling the bike would immediately slow down and it wasn't as fast downhill. But I managed to keep pretty much the same time so I should be alright going to work, if only a little more knackered. Also, it was nice not having to worry about hitting potholes and rough road surface, because the state of the roads are getting really bad.
