I use the sort of cycle computer that counts the number of revolutions of the front wheel, so riding on familiar roads it would become rapidly obvious if my front wheel tyre pressure was lower than usual as the distance would be exaggerated.

When riding on dry roads, every time you hit a damper patch you can see the tyre go darker and then gradually expose a dry central strip. This is (in my case) usually the middle third of the tyre, and it is immediately obvious if the dry strip gets wider than usual.

Being a heavier than normal cyclist, rear wheel pressure is harder to judge as no matter how hard I pump the tyres up, they always show quite a bit of squish. I just check with my fingers before I get on.

Seeing as this was from a year and a half ago and the “High School Seniors” never came back to engage, follow up or thank anyone I assume they’’ve all now left school, still at home and trying to find a job.
