I am the weirdest rider in the world

I realized today that my riding produces exactly the opposite effect on tires from everyone else. All the reports I've read about tire usage read something like, "I get n miles out of a rear tire, and n * 2 miles out of a front tire." However, I'm the exact opposite -- I usually go through a front tire faster than a rear tire.

I guess this is likely due to my in-city riding. However, it means that I'm spending a lot more time braking than everyone else, and obviously I'm not accelerating much. If I were, I'd be going through rear tires a lot faster.

And despite that, I get terrible gas mileage on whatever I'm riding. How lame is that? At least front tires are a bit cheaper most of the time.
