    That's the bad thing about tubeless; you still have to do something to keep the air in lol

    Most common beginner cycling mistakes

    I would walk/run opposite to traffic, personally. Your reaction time on foot is easier than on bike.

    Tubeless riders: How often are you adding new sealant to your tires? What sealant are you using these days and why that brand?
