Being a non-nonsence person is often at odds with the "artsy" side of my personality. My bikes are a good example. Half of me says don't mess with the minimalistic beauty of this simple machine. The other half loves the space-age look of high end racing bikes (Litespeed Bikes), the vintage style of women's bikes (Beg Bicycles), the funky colors and mismatched wheels of a hipster bike. Often what excites me is that highly functional part: the tire.
Colored bike tires can make a ride even fun-er if mounted on a kid's bike. And they could give a classic, vintage flare to a boring yard sale 70s bike.
There are many options out there but but I have yet to find one website that lists options for colored tires. Lovely Bicycle, one my usual web-visits, has a page that lists cream colored tires. But the page was built a few years back and could use some updating. And it only lists cream tires, no other colors. So, I am starting my own tire list. I know it will always be in a state of progress as tires will come and go. And I won't list black as we all know, black ain't a color!
