Just click on the picture to see Sheldon Brown’s tire folding video. (slow loading)
Watch Sheldon’s video and you will know how to pack your tires before a tour, simple but handy thing to know. Yes, you can substitute a red cable tie or velcro strip for the red toe strap.
Lots of other fun bicycle info at Sheldon Brown Web Site.
An alternative, not quite as good but much faster loading

Neat stuff. Sheldon’s video loads quick on my end (~2 seconds) so it might be your internet connection/computer that is the bottleneck.

Hi Bryan, nice to hear from you. It been a good bicycling summer so I’ve been distracted. Thinking of doing a cross country ride in March.

If you find yourself in Arkansas, let me know.
At Thanksgiving time I’m looking at riding 300 or so miles to my parents house. It would be a combination of the Adventure Cycling “Great Rivers South” route plus the Mississippi River Trail. We’ve been sooo dang hot here (many days above 100) we haven’t ridden much this summer but we have played a TON of bike polo.
