Air-free non-pneumatic tires are coming to a bicycle near you

Of course, most people don’t ride mountain bikes on the street. Their loss, I say

I commuted for ten years on a mountain bike. I appreciated the ability to ride over just about any surface but the nine speed chain drive never shifted reliably. Derailleur hangers failed every 5000km or so. Chains and clusters would last me a couple of thousand k. I broke a few chains taking off from red lights. I am on a hybrid with a belt drive and an 11 speed hub now. Its heaven.
