Many people have asked me recently why I have yellow tires on my bicycle and they are surprised to hear that the answer is scientific in nature. It is important to note that the tires' yellow is nearly identical to that of the double paint line in the center of most roads and shares the same combination of metallic elements in its pigmentation. Since the early nineteen-seventies scientists have observed a phenomenon of magnetization in these familiar lines. Unbeknown to their designers, the lines are positively charged when cars, hugely magnetic powers, repeatedly move along their edges. This polar situation is further amplified by the close proximity of the opposing line, that which has been charged by the other lane.
By using yellow tires, with the right composition, which are in turn magnetized by the steel of the bicycle frame, one can harness this incredible power,
and be pulled along the road by the yellow lines.
