1. A question from be about your flats

In all the riding I did in the past, thousands of miles I think I only got a couple of flats. Since I started riding the end of may I have rolled about 600 miles on 3 different bikes. 80% of those on the new bike. My route has rough spots but thankfully no glass or other sharp object, if you don't count snake fangs. Just kidding, the only 2 snakes I've see were non-poisonous, a couch whip that doubled back on himself to get away from that scary contraption and a rat snake that I first took for a new crack in the pavement.

So after boring you with all of that, what causes your punctures?

Oh and a bit of advise about tantrums; I know you like to speed along on your imagined 13 pound bike but you might take the flat fixing as a time for reflection, breath deep and take in your surroundings. There might be something interesting to see or hear or smell. And yes I should take the same advice myself.
