Though it is not down to pure luck, that is shared over 3 different bikes and 4 different tires: 35% Conti gatorskins (28mm), 25% Rubino pro G+ (25mm), 35% Corsa G+ (23mm), 5% Rubino pro speed (25mm), all tires were new, (except the gators which where quite used already). I also always pay close attention to what I'm riding over, the roads to my house are in bad repair with mixed surfaces and riddled with potholes, with new ones appearing regularly. I've probably gone and jinxed myself now though...

Anybody else have a long streak without a flat?

.....Happy riding!
you have definitely angered the flat tire gremlins.....if you don't get a flat, others will. you must convert at least one bike to tubular (but cheat and go tufo) to appease the gremlins
