I noticed this hole when I got to work in the morning. It lets out enough air that I can hear it when I try to inflate the tire. What are my options here, aside from buying and mounting a new tire? Is this fixable with liquid sealant? A rubber rope kit?

I'm not taking this bike past 90mph, so any fix doesn't need to be capable of withstanding incredibly high stress. But I don't want to be unsafe, either. Thanks for the help.

lol it's super fixable! Just put a bit of adhesive tape on it and it's good as new! I'm sure nothing bad will happen! Make sure to test your repaired tire and speed a little to make sure that the tape is on real good!

You forgot the /s ! (How is the heck are you getting downvoted, do people really think you mean that?)
