I don't know. I guess I get two or three flats a year, but that's an average. They don't come in even distribution.

The last puncture I had leaked slowly enough that I was able to pedal home without doing anything. This was on the way home at night. By morning, the tire was flat, and I patched the tube. That was a lucky puncture.
