sharpen the edges of the rims into blades and take it onto an ice rink.

i've ridden a bike without tires, it sucks. there's a reason early bikes were nicknamed "bone-shakers"

You see, the problem here is... (goes into long, old-man explanation of why pneumatic tires are a good thing)...and that's why kids these days will never amount to much because they do silly things like that.

Well, that was a waste of 2 minutes of my life, and three perfectly good bikes. If you're just going to waste them, why not give them to a charity or something instead. Mindless waste is (as stupid as) mindless consumerism.

Back in the day of early biking,I think the wheels were steel.

I remember when trucks had solid wheels.... then people put rubber tires on. Technology! Improvements!

I suppose someone could make the same argument for gears though.
