Lower recommended PSI (I run mine at 75PSI), still the 700cc size, but thicker and a slightly more aggressive tread. You do have more rolling resistance, but not much, and since you aren't doing time trials for the Tour de France... I have these on my road bike (which is really more for touring than racing). Bonus is there are fewer flats as well. http://www.rei.com/product/709112 Go with a commuter tire… Lower recommended PSI (I run mine at 75PSI), still the 700cc size, but thicker and a slightly more aggressive tread.

After complaints last year regarding the 300 bike parking spots filling up far to quickly the bike parking has moved and expanded to 600 spots. This is certainly welcome news for those planning to ride to Bluesfest. Bluesfest is trying to be more friendly to Ottawa cyclists.
