Also, the flats seem to more likely to happen on lousy, wet and cold days
That makes two of us. Most of my flats occurs in the winter. The street Sweeper sweep the street less during the winter months. All those roadside broken glass and debris ends up in the Bike lanes. During the summer months, I can see a difference in the amount of junk in the Bike Lane the day before and the day after the street are swept.
