airless tires

I was checking out tires at my bike shop a few weeks ago when i came
across a yellow Amerityre made entirely out of "closed-cell polyurethane
foam" i thought it looked interesting, and i've been riding with it
since. It doesn't help when hopping, but other than that i've enjoyed
it so far. i was just wondering if anyone else has tried out similar
solid tires and if so, what you thought...

Tell us your opinion as well. The last thread didn't give much info.
How does it feel on bumpy ground? How about street riding? Do you feel
like you have to exert more force to start/ keep moving? Does it feel
extremely heavy?
I'm curious because I go through about 4 or 5 tubes every summer on my
commuter uni because of the stupid goat head thorns around here. I'd
like to find an alternative to constantly buying new tubes.

Please post a description of what a URL points to before the actual URL.
This is especially important with tinyurl.com URLs, where the URL tells
nothing about the web page that is finally displayed.

Quite often the URL points to something that has already been looked at.
A brief description would help people avoid looking at same web page
multiple times just to see if its something new.

If the URL points to movies, the description should say what kind, and
if known what version and codec is actually used. I often end up trying
to play movies with codecs my movie player doesn't recognize. For
analog modem (56k/bps or less) users especially, the size of the movie
should also be included in the description.

Also, please remember that _not_ everyone uses unicyclist.com to read
and post to the rec.sport.unicycling newsgroup. Starting or using a web
browser from within a news client or e-mail client isn't always that
easy depending on the particular news or e-mail client.

Sincerely,

Ken Fuchs

may I also add that some company Internet access bars access to all
tinyurl.com addresses.. Not that I would ever deliberately surf the web
in works time (Ahem..)...

But tinyurl style addresses seem to be generated automatically when
one posts from the forum if the url is "too long". It is only possible
to publish the actual url if is is disguised so it isn't recognised as
a url.
