I definitely go around big chunks of the stuff, but the smaller shards roll right under them without a problem.
Just my 2 cents.

I use Tuffy liners on both my Bianchi Cross (for commuting) and my Kona (for mtn biking). I have not had a flat on either since. There's lots of glass and stickers around my bike paths and these have helped immensely even if they have added a little weight (not much). I even pulled asticker out of my mtn bike without a leak. That's my two cents...
