Default Tire pressures

One of the most overlooked aspects to riding (and even driving) is maintaining proper tire pressure. So here's an inquiry: how many of you, 1) regularly check inflation levels pre and post rides; 2) alter inflation based upon outside air temperature changes. No penalty points if you're a bit apathetic about #1.

I regularly check pressure PRE-RIDE. Recommended pressures are cold inflation pressures.

Exactly what shovelmike says. I riding solo the back tire gets adjusted properly, if with passenger, then the psi gets bumped up to cold specs.

I check weekly; doing so pretty much takes care of ambient temp compensation I guess . . .
