      Have you taken it off to check the inside? If the tube didn’t puncture, it probably didn’t get all the way through. If that’s the case,I wouldn’t do anything

      You could put a dab of rubber cement in the cut but it’s probably not necessary. Those tires have a plastic layer to resist punctures

      Road cruiser or marathon?

      If it is a marathon, the piece of glass would be very unlikely to go through the protection layer or do any significant damage to the casing. If this is the case I would leave it alone and replace when it gets worn or cracked 😉

      If the cord is cut and the tire is compromised the tire will bulge at the cut. If there is no bulging then it is fine for you to continue with your biking activities.

      I have suffered from glass shards stuck in tyre. Caused four punctures back to back and I didn’t know what was causing since there was nothing sharp I could feel inside the tyre. Then someone showed me.

      So take something pointy, like a small screwdriver and get those shards out. If that causes a cut or a mark on the tyre, you can glue a piece of tube from inside for extra protection.
