I dont grab tires, I caress them.
I wait until that time of day when the moon and sun linger in the air, sharing the sky, and a golden autumn hue lays upon the world. I then slowly remove some Armor All Tire Shine from my pannier and rub it softly into my hands. Taking one knee, I lovingly massage it into every inch, every tread of the tire. I then make my way to the side walls toward the valve stem, holding my breath with exhilarated anticipation.
Oh yes, I take my time. Savoring every moment for as long as possible.
Or until the bike's owner comes out screaming at me whilst I make my speedy escape.
