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

You might be interested. It amounts to less than $20 per pair -- postage free.

Thanks, I had checked a few weeks ago and they were out of stock. $38 shipped for a pair, not bad!

Not seeing the 19.44 as a pair - that price is for each.

Seriously, $20 buys you a pair of tires -- right?

Don't tell me I just got one tyre!

it's one tire for $20. I checked about 10 times because you made me think I screwed up.

I think you did. I saw no mention of "pair" in the ad. Good price considering no tax/shipping. You can probably get the tires (excuse me "tyres" ) combined if you order soon.

I see them for $19.44 each. Still a good deal.

This is a great price for a nice training tire. Stock up now since PBK often sells out of these.

That's what BF is for. At least they're still there, so go nab them. I think their email notifications are haphazard at best. This notification botch-up has happened before.

Turns out it still is a good deal. Armadillo's are $60 a piece, $120 a pair on their website -- what a rip!
