This is how a car tire works on a bike

It's pretty wild... Those that haven't tried this are all up in fucking arms about it, saying it's dangerous, handles shitty, blah blah blah, you're gonna get killed.

Those that HAVE tried this, friggin swear by it... and many of those people are generally riders who ride WAYYY more fucking miles a year than any of us here do and have been riding for longer than some of us have been alive.

It just further goes to prove, that in theory, theory = practice.... but in practice, it's not.

Does that mean I'm gonna go try it? No, because I don't ride a cruiser/tourer and I like my bikes to handle as they're designed. I don't just cruise around. But for the folks that just cruise around, I can see this working for them, since it obviously DOES work for them.
