Strangest thing about goatheads: When I moved here 20 years ago, I flatted all four tires on my two bikes in the first two weeks, and it was all road-riding.
Right now I can't remember the last time I picked up a goathead; These days I seem to get flats most often from those tiny wires from worn out steel-belted tires.
