Solid tires were once available for bicycles. I learned to ride a bike on an ancient men's bike my dad had gotten from somewhere that had solid tires. It probably dated from the 1930s. On paved residential roads solid tires don't make that much difference at typical bicycle speeds.You can carry more in a bike than on your back.
Airless tires would be nice. Not something I’ve seen for bike though.
The problem would be when it finally is time to change the tire because of wear or cracks. Imagine taking a solid tire off a bicycle wheel using regular bicycle tire irons.
