In the 1880’s John Boyd Dunlop was the inventor of the first practical inflatable tire for bicycles.

Social Distancing Behind the Wheel

posted on 8/13/2020 3:00:45 PM
Your vehicle is a good way to maintain social distance compared to taking the bus, train or a taxi. If you are traveling in a vehicle with other people, you can still ensure that social distancing is being practiced by sitting at the far opposite side of the car (2m or 6 feet separation).
