Skinny tires can be quite flat prone if you don't take the necessary precautions.
I bought a road bike for cheap, $50, a year ago because the owner got tired of flat after flat. I installed new tubes and it flat right away. I mean as soon as I hit 100 psi I heard a loud hissing noise. It turned out that the edges of the hole in the rim where the valve goes into was SHARP on both rims. A grinding bit and a dremel tool took care of that problem.
