I remember why I quit riding two years ago now. I'm averaging a flat tire about every 100-130 miles. It's been different bikes, different tires, and most of them different reasons but it's extremely frustrating.
Yes, flat tires can be frustrating. The last one, I ran the inside of the tire with my hand to see what might have caused it, but couldn't find anything. I put in a patched tube and it got me home, before it went flat. I pulled the tire off and with a magnifying glass and the tire inside out, I found something I could not identify, almost wood like. I pulled it out with tweezers and it's been good ever since. Between glass and pieces of metal on the sides of roads, its a wonder I don't get a flat every day.
