I don't regret getting out of the house, either (this weekend's rain fest...stinks!!).
Have you noticed that the flat "gods" LOVE road bikes and/or ultralight (fitness-type) hybrids above all other bikes?? Must be something about 700c wheels and road bike (especially Presta-valve) tubes that attract the "sharpies" that can ruin a ride! ("Sharpies" can include ill-shielded spokes and/or valve holes that need chamfering of their "rough" edges!!)
You just brought back to mind the day I had to repair TWO flats on my Sequoia within 7 miles of each other...one at home before I left, and the other about the aforementioned seven miles out! The second had top be repaired on the grass, next to the road, in the hot sun...and I'm NOT the world's fastest flat fixer!!
(Most of my bikes are very well behaved re: avoiding flats, and I don't get much practice as a result!
) Got my ride in anyway, but, still...!!
