Overwhelming desire to give them a squeeze

[postman]

Does Miss Goodbody have any preference on this question.

Does Miss Goodbody have any preference on this question.

With reference to the OP's question about car tyres

I believe that size is important




Never squeeze anything larger than you are comfortable with handling


I am sur Ms Goodbody had squeezed many sizes and can give advice on the optimum girth

Read the tile of this just as the news was reporting on Donald Trump!

As to the bike, yes every time. Sometimes even when I am not riding.

It's the first thing I do when I go downstairs on a workday morning - get the Brompton out of the cupboard and check the tyres. If there's a puncture, it's back upstairs to get changed and I'm walking to the train station...

So, 2 extra squeezes, 2 tyres (assuming you're not on a unicycle) 4 squeezes per ride extra. Let's say you ride 5 days a week and have done so for 10 years, that's 10400 superfluous squeezes each taking 1/2 second which equates to 1 hour, 26 minutes and 40 seconds of your life you've wasted unnecessarily squeezing bicycle tyres.

And if he's a tricyclist?

I can't walk past a bike without squeezing the brake levers.

The Big Squeeze is quite simply fetishism ....

I weened myself off the Big Squeeze with the aid of a track pump & now I only align the brand names on the sidewalls to rotate at exactly the same point before I set off.

It's a miracle.
