That cyclist in the parking lot told me to check my tire pressure and I owe him one

I was complaining to a random guy at the grocery store about how hard it was to get to work without being totally wiped out. He just said "bet your tires are low" and walked off. I got home and checked my front tire and it was at 25 psi when the sidewall says 50 minimum. After airing both up to 55, my ride to work went from 28 minutes down to 22 minutes and I wasn't sweating through my shirt. Has anyone else had a stranger give them a tip that turned out to be a game changer?

That bit about "check your tire pressure" always sounded like old man advice to me, but you just convinced me to actually do it. I'm going to test mine tomorrow.

Check your pressure monthly, it's free speed (literally).
