Bike tires made from NASA’s bizarre shape-shifting metal are now available to buy
No more bicycle flats, forever.
You're viewing a single thread.
And at only about 10 times the cost of traditional bicycle tires, you’ll only need to not replace your tires about 11 times for this to be cost-effective!
Give it a decade and economies of scale, and maybe it will get it down to twice as expensive.
It's a human feather.
Humans don't have feathers.

Tyres last about a year, so this sounds fine
Either you bike a lot, or you use very thin tires. I bike occasionally, and I still have the original tires on my bike that I've had since I bought it in 2018, I think.
How do you get your groceries? How do you get to work?
Once per year is pretty typical for folks who use bikes.
For those I typically drive because there's no good way for me to do it by bike. But I also put a few hundred miles on per year biking recreationally on a variety of surfaces.
So, yeah, you basically don't use your bike
