China's Airless Bike Tires

We've heard of airless tires before seeing this photo, but those were for cars. These airless tires are for bikes, and you can only find them overseas. China uses them on a lot of their bikes, and they're basically made out of really tough foam. The foam tires have a bunch of air pockets in them, making the tires pretty shock-absorbent while also eliminating the possibility of having a flat tire.

As stated above, a lot of tire manufacturers are testing similar technologies for use on vehicles, so it's possible something like this could become a reality in the U.S. sooner rather than later.
