Good for daily commute to work? 30 miles round trip, mostly paved roads.

Yes. I've been using these in many sizes for years. No flats, high pressure, dependable tire.
1388671
Absolutely! A guy at my bike shop said the ride would be stiff but I like the new feel. I also like not worrying as much when I roll through bits of glass!

I would have to say yes. These tires seem quite sturdy and I'm impressed with their performance in the dry and in light rain. Haven't ridden in more severe weather. Still have some mold mark showing and now have 875 miles on the front tire - back tire is awaiting install once original front tire, since swapped to rear, wears out.

If the road is truly packed, not wet with rain, and without ruts, I think this is an excellent choice. I have most difficulty on pavers and those awful metal bumpers at cross walks. Carpets and wood floors don't usually present a problem.

Hi Nathan. I have had a City Mini Double for over a year now and I absolutely love it. It really is as good as all the reviews say. The front wheels can be locked to handle some terrain better, but it really is not designed for off-roading. If you are just going on some flat dirt or even grass at the ballfield, you should have no real problem, but if you are a more outdoors family, I would recommend the Baby Jogger City Elite Double (must confess, I own this one too) instead or at least something with air filled tires. That's the one I use all winter in New England in the snow and to the zoo and stuff in the summer. The City Mini really is versatile, though. I've taken it on planes and to to Disney & Busch Gardens, etc. Just depends on your needs. The Elite is expensive, but can be found elsewhere online for significantly less. Good luck!

The Midmoor has tires that are a little over 1" wide. In my opinion too narrow for roads not paved or packed very hard. I would recommend a mountain bike.

Yeah it would be great for a daily commute bike, has the rear tie bar which you can mount a basket. The only thing I fear is the tire it is easy to get flat tire since it is not thick. This is from my experience riding in an area filled with thorns. Maybe for a commute consider the toughness of the tires so you can spare yourself the hassle of a flat tire. I like the bike overall, if it is for commute in the city like if you are a school student, than this bike would be ideal. Like if you go to college and you have a hard time finding parking. You can put the bike in the trunk and park farther and ride it. Yeah it would be great for a daily commute bike, has the rear tie bar which you can mount a basket.

Not bad in grass.... Gravel not so great. We went on a walk yesterday and went over a bunch of acorns and it was a very bumpy ride.

I'm driving on a smooth surface and was fine with it. Not sure about off road.

About 40 minutes of smooth pavement driving; about 30 minutes through 3 inch grass.

In my experience the tires are very durable, but they're also essentially slicks with no real gripping power. If the gravel is loose, traction on turns and hills could be a problem. Packed gravel or dirt should be fine... mud would be a problem, though.

Yes we mostly ride a paved trail with an occasional dip onto some very minor off road. A smooth non aggressive fibre.

If is very fast about 30 or 35 miles per hour and the tires are mix of rubber and rubber but are very good for me is good

Yes, it is good for both paved and dirt roads. The tires have a good tread pattern, and the bike has good shocks to help absorb the bumps of a rough road. I do not do any hardcore trail riding, so I cannot testify to any further details of how it performs off-road. I have taken it off pavement though, over some slightly rougher terrain and through thick grass, and it handled it well. It does have a kickstand.

Rubber is reasonably firm but "grippy" in warm weather. No noticeable wear after a few hundred miles, (blacktop streets and roads).

Part of my route to work is on bumpy dirt farm roads. No issues with it coming loose.

Not bad, just depends on how fast you drive. If on the toll road at 80 miles an hour yes it does but not that bad

No. They are designed for foot traffic. They are nice and "cushiony" for that. A car would flatten them
