I check mine about every 3rd day, I pinch test them before every ride. On the drop bar bikes I run 120 in the 23s and 110 in the 25s.

squeeze daily and pressure depends on what bike

I check mine before every ride. Michelin Krylion Carbon folders @ 100psi or thereabouts.

Schwalbe durano plus 23mm 120 psi checked every 1-2 weeks. (front's done 6000 m. without flat and rear wore out after 5500m without a flat commuting in south london)

I topped up my tyres last 4days before the Tour of Flanders 26th of March to 105pri rear/ 95psi front. I tend to pump up once a week depending on the weather (sometimes less often if its icy). I was going to top this time on Friday or Saturday when I realised it wasn't going to be icy at the weekend but some oxymoron drove into the back of me on Wednesday so I decided my butt would appreciate the slightly smoother ride.

110 on my schwalbe lagunos

Thinking back to my old town bike in my parents garage; I'd pump that up to 85psi (maybe lower depending on the weather) and leave it for months. Even though it was ridden nearly every day, the psi would only have only fallen to circa 60 psi and touch wood rarely p'tured (2 in 6500 miles iirc), the joy of shraeder valves and conti contacts

Quick squeeze before riding - good enough to check for leaks - and about once a week put the pump on them.

Both bikes have a max pressure of 100 psi (Marathons) and I aim for about 90 on the electric pump's guage. (Proper guage then says 95 if I check it).

I've taken a look a few times and the pressure is around 80 to 85 (proper guage) after 1 or 2 weeks so I should always be above the minimum (65 I recall).
