Glass is definitely not as bad as it was when I was a kid. My issue is that I commute up Allen/1st Ave at 5:30AM after hack private garbage haulers have left a mess of broken bottles and general detritus in their wake but before Sanitation has cleaned up after them. And as I said, the 2nd Ave bike lanes next to Sara Roosevelt are a wreck. Every flat I've gotten on my commute has been on the stretch from Houston to Grand.
