Bike tires made from NASA’s bizarre shape-shifting metal are now available to buy (from Kickstarter) (www.theverge.com)

This being a kickstarter makes it a non-starter for me but it looks pretty promising: Hopefully they work great and become popular.

If this actually takes off, price should come down substantially.

Kickstarters aren't known for manufacturing prowess or efficiencies of scale.

Given the materials it'll always be expensive, but there's a lot of room to come down if these are sold in the 10s or 100s of millions
