Seat Belt Bicycle Tire Upgrade

I was sick of getting flat bicycle tires, so on reading a few seat belt bike tire liner tricks online, I was ready to give it a shot. Having a few donor seat belts (that also found their way onto the 7cees bus) laying around certainly helped!

Chop to appropriate length:

Deflate and debead half of the tire to insert the seat belt:

Reinsert the tube:

Find someone with small hands to help reseat the tire and get things ready to go:

Test!

(Just kidding, I don’t think this would survive the bandsaw for long. . . although no flats to report in several months!)
