Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Vera Helios?

Anyone got these tyres? I heard they're pretty bad for punctures.
Any recommendations for city cycling? 700x25

They came stock on my "B" bike, a Fuji Sportif 1.7 (2013). Puncture-wise, they weren't bad. They are not fast tires for sure, though.

I have a set of those that, also, came on a new Fuji this year. I never flatted with them, but I also didn't put a lot of miles on them. They're still laying around somewhere.

Bikes: 2013 Fuji Sportif with full Ultegra 6800 groupset.

They came stock on my fuji - ran about 1k miles on them and had several flats front and rear.
I am too new to blame the tires, but I just replaced them with Gatorskins.

They also came stock on my wife's fuji - she has run the same 1k on them and not had one flat.
