when i was little boygirl i was playing bikes with a friend and his tire popped and oozed out that green tire slime stuff and i had never seen it before so it freaked me out so bad i biked home really fast in a panic almost crying acting like i just saw an animal die. that fucking bike died and its blood was everywhere.

#does anyone else know what the green tire slime is #i…. I thought it was air in there #are you sure his bike. wasnt some sort of mimic or other creature transfigured

those are self-sealing bicycle tubes. the slime is there to patch small punctures. there are many brands but it may amuse you to know that one brand is sold by slime dot com.
