When cycling at night sometimes, I notice that the flickering of the streetlights is in phase with the tread on my tyres. I have to go up a big hill just before I get home, and it is while travelling slowly up this hill that I witness my treads seeming to stand still.
If one were to impregnate
images into the rubber, or it might be OK just painted (as the printing surface is set back from the contact knobbles), it would be possible to produce a little cartoon to take your mind off the pain of the ascent.

This is a great idea that I may have to try, but the word is Zoetrope. A heliotrope is a puffy purple bush flower. |

I know the tyres are not very wide but could one set on the left read - go faster. set in the middle read - optimum speed. set on the right read - hey hernia territory. :) |

Oops! Thank you - changed title. Zoetrope does ring a bell from my schooldays. |

Did you fire up the wayback machine? |
