We're currently on 700x23 tires at 120 PSI. I didn't want to have "big" "heavy" "burdensome" tires, but I think my wife would enjoy a smoother ride so I'm looking. I didn't see hardly any recent tire reviews for road tires. Most were 2 years old.
What are you riding? How many PSI? What do you suggest? We're in Arkansas with hills, on road only, and no racing. The more cost effective the better! Thanks
We rode really late into my wife's pregnancy. As her belly grew I just mounted higher and higher bars (bmx style worked well). And added a suspension seatpost. By the end she was sitting almost straight up. Also, including a treat stop seemed to make the rides more enjoyable for her
