Understand why he feels that way but it just tells me that he doesn't ride enough. That 3rd flat or leftover shard is going to ruin his day. Then again, maybe once the flat occurs his Strava time is ruined so he just rolls home.
that is a pretty silly conclusion...although i do like the use of "enough".

double century with only one flat??? not riding enough.

ride around the block with 4 flats??? enough.
