I triple-dog dare you to roll in my 'hood. You can brag about your flat-free life, but until you ride a mile on my roads, statements like these are what are pointless.

Purchasing what amounts to the harsh ride of a wagon wheel to prevent my flats is not the solution. I am not sure there is one, aside from showing up at public council meetings only to be laughed at by those with more important issues. At this point my solution is to ride tire-friendly routes.

I carry four tubes and a patch kit as well as a six pack of Skabs.
