Yah, for sure Tom Shifter is the best at plugging sensible IGH commuting. He films on a Sunday morning likely.
We need a helmet like a hole in the head, but 75% do I guess. LOL. Calgary is a horrible place to ride tho, IMO. Their hilly freeway trails with double merge lanes are impossible to ride. He seems to use MacLeod Trail a lot, that's just a wide stroad. Edmonton's bad spots are easily avoided. They have more all day traffic I think.
Who gets flats?? LOL. I haven't had one in the city in 20 years, since I quit using thin tires. I go years without one on highways also. There's no thorns and I watch out for nails. With a slow leak it's OK to just pump it up and ride a few miles.
Today I did my first highway ride of the year, 64 miles. Dodged a dozen nails and a ten screws. Passed by a rusty big 1"+ wrench, 10" side cutter and utility knife.
I saw 5 other riders for a change.
