Early bikes used a tire that was basically tubular, and was glued to the curved side of a rim. The glue and air pressure in the tire held the tire to the rim. This type of tire was later called a "sew-up" because a tire was sewed in place around the tube, and the tube and tire were glued to the rim. This is a pretty good illustration of an early bicycle tire design.
