I`ve changed up some of my riding routes , avoiding the areas that I`ve noticed the most glass. But, I think I`ll be giving Mr Tuffy Tire Liner another go.

...it took me several months to realize that the increase in small glass shards, on my city streets, were coming out of the holes, rusted in the bottom steel floors of the recycling trucks. Then it took me another six months to convince the city department, that picks up the trash, to believe that was the problem. Then another six months for them to repair it. It was especially bad in places where the recycling bins got put out and picked up in the bike lanes.
