Doesn't look "airless" to me. I can actually see the air.

I'm sure those things roll GREAT.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that was the complaint the army/navy had when they tried using these on the Humvee. Great for low speed/crawling, terrible when the wheel was spinning fast. Not to mention they heat up when rolling.

Oddly this isn't a new idea...

If you'd ever been tagged by one, you'd know they are definitely not "nice."

lol For some reason I didn't even notice that. The bike is a WW1 Germany Army bike, I guess they thought the springs would cushion the ride like a tank on the front lines.

The probability and cost of flats in a warzone might both be high, too.
