My interest in all things Porsche has led me to Continental. Continental is a German rubber company that really has little to do with Porsche. But Continental does make pretty good race and street car tires and great bicycle tires.
Over the years I've become loyal to this brand too. I now have Continental tires on both my Boxster and Cayenne, on all three Porsche bicycles and even on three of my Adidas running shoes.
I have summer-only ExtremeContact Sport tires on the Boxster and ExtremeContact DWS06 on the Cayenne. The Porsche Bike X road bike has Gatorskins and both Bike S have RaceKing Continental tires.
That's a lot of German rubber on my German equipment. The horse in the Continental logo is even similar to the horse in the Porsche crest. I guess my interest is appropriate. Feels that way!
Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. And just completed the Maryland and California Coast & Coast Porsche road bike adventure!
