Have they started selling a kevlar belt for bike tires? I have seen some
options on new bikes (mostly commuter folders) that feature kevlar tires.
I am thinking of a lightweight kevlar ring that would go inside bike
tires to prevent a sharp piece of glass (from a beer bottle or such) from
puncturing the innertube.
Maybe that does not exist yet? I have been thinking about upgrading my
Giant Cypress with fenders for commuting, but having flat tires is a show
stopper for me. Maybe I am a bit paranoid as well.
