Listen to cyccommute, and notice where he lives.
I grew up in IN, later lived in MI, then IL, before moving to CO.
I honestly can't remember *ever* having a flat in IN or MI or IL.
Within 2 weeks of moving to Denver, I flatted all 4 tires on my 2 bikes, all due to goatheads.
I'm currently living halfway between Denver and Boulder, and haven't had a goathead flat for quite some time.
Recently it is more often due to those little wires from steel-belted tires.
