YES
Certain bikes, Especially Ones With Spokes, have to have Wide Whitewalls!

Saw one of these today.
Supposedly, they have lots of orders and are backlogged. As for me, I see a modern Edsel.

It was too nice not to get out today. But the window was short, so I set off with the bars 3/4 taped, so as not to hurry the last part.

I saw one on the freeway in San Jose a couple of days after they started shipping and was taken aback at just how ugly it was. Since then I've only seen two and they were parked in front of a Tesla dealership. I also heard they are losing thousands on each one shipped due to the high cost of manufacturing. It will be interesting to see how successful it is.

I'm still drawn to the steel
The day of this Saturday ride I was bonking bad and struggling when I shouldn't have been. I can usually manage a better camera face (below) than I did this historic day for me. Historic because I felt bad all day after the ride and at 3 AM woke my wife to say let's go to the ER, I was very dizzy. I didn't come out till Tuesday after having a pacemaker implant Monday morning. I'd mentioned over in Pills & Ills I had a very low heart rate and frequent PVC's https://www.bikeforums.net/23068053-post11.html
My cardiologist has said for years I had a pacemaker in my future, but I wasn't expecting it this soon. I'm thankful I got through the ride without passing out and maybe falling into the path of a car. I'll be off the bike for a while so the area around the pacemaker & leads heals and becomes more anchored, but I just finished a 3 mile walk tonight and everything felt great. Happy to be here !

My new velotank on the outskirts of lovely Ft. Pierce.
Oh, can someone give me a crash course on sizing these photos down?

Maybe it’s just the changing rhythm of the sea, Rising from the shore the ocean came Walking on the waves of velveteen…

Atmospheric River is still stalled over us so no riding today. Took a walk 3 miles (880 ft. Climb) up a dead end road and back. Large umbrella kept me dry at least from the knees up. Supposed to be dry tomorrow through the weekend.

I had a nice day with a 25 mile ride on my Orbea Avant, tried a new to me place for lunch, and fixed myself some fine dining, beef sirloin medallion and homemade crab cake.
I prefer this set up on this bike
My carry out lunch
Nice version of surf an turf
