One of the biggest downers any bike commuter will experience is a flat tire. Not only can experiencing this make you late for work, but it also will leave you frustrated and dirty.

I’ve used Slime in the passed and even used heavy duty tubes to compliment each other. Tire liners are also another alternative or [...]
