Bikes: A steel framed 26" off road tourer from a manufacturer who thinks they are cool. Giant Anthem. Trek 720 Multiroad pub bike. 10 kids bikes all under 20". Assorted waifs and unfinished projects.

I rotate. The rear on a tourer tends to get flat in the middle, the front wears more rounded. Rotating evens this out a bit more, so over-all you'll get more life out of your tyres. The trick is to not let the back get too flat in the middle before you move it, otherwise the steering gets a little squirrel-ly as you transition from the flat spot to the edge of the tyre.
