I've had a couple of pinch flats, the first when my rear tire was just a little bit low, hadn't added air to it for a while but meant to before my ride. My negligence cost me a few minutes for a roadside repair. The second one just a couple weeks ago happened when I was riding gravel, heading down into a little gully in the road toward a bridge over a creek, hit something hard with my front tire and heard a pssh pssh pssh pssh and knew I was in for a flat. That one gave me not one but two different pinch flats for a total of four holes in the tire. That one I called my wife for a SAG since the sun was going down fast and I didn't want to navigate the rest of the gravel in the dark. I can't wait for daylight savings time.
