bicycle tire
Spoke-mounted rubber ring
A bicycle tire is the rubber covering that fits around a bicycle wheel's rim, providing traction, cushioning, and protection for the inner tube.
Tires vary in width and tread pattern depending on intended use: narrow, smooth tires suit road cycling, while wider, knobby tires handle off-road terrain.
I got a flat and had to patch my bicycle tire on the side of the road.
