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
The tread looks good. No cords or showing. I have had a couple of flats and not sure if it related to the hole or not. The tire only has about 400 miles on it.
