That’s the least of many issues the bike has. Not a big concern since I’m just using it for running around the neighborhood at the vacation house, a quick trip down to the store, etc. Will likely never ride this bike more than a few miles at a time. But, next time I have it off, I’ll reverse it. Actually, I did dismount both tires just to check the integrity of the tube…both were flat. When I remounted them, I did check for a rotation direction indicator on the sidewalls. There isn’t one. And honestly didn’t really take notice of the tread at first. They are pretty old Kenda tires, and I checked Kenda, and a few other sites for info regarding rotation. Mixed results. The Kenda site says to observe the indicator on the sidewall (which isn’t present). Other sites say (regarding Kenda tires) if there isn’t an indicator, rotation doesn’t matter. One site (not Kenda’s) did say that the “arrow” in the tread is the indicator. Anyway…
