Tubulars are still the last word in bicycle tires and what the pros ride, but they have

floor pump -- and certainly not on a daily basis. My wife and I have
more robust tires on our bike that we have professionally pumped once

You don't have these ladies where you live? Sad!

We do! That was shot in Portland. The girls are wearing Yakima jerseys. I have one of those. I was on the team. The old guy team mascot -- someone to struggle on the back and talk about the old days of five-speed.
