It is interesting though. Back when I didn't carry a spare tube I got lots of flats. Now that I am prepared for them I rarely get a flat.
Around here though, there is rarely an instance where you can just re-inflate and limp home. If you get a flat here it was probably from a goathead and the air will come out almost as fast as it goes in.
Actually todays flat, I couldn't call the wife for a pickup, she was standing with her bike next to me, as I changed the flat....
