Ride through the area the OP mentions or Riviera Beach at 6:30 am and
have to screw around with a hub bike and tell me if you wouldnt re-think your position.
I own both, btw.....
Be more open minded. Some (most?) of us don't ride where a couple extra minutes is a life or death situation. Besides, I took OP's comment about Oakland to be indicative of road/tire hazards, not human hazards. If JBM2 had merely pointed out (as many have in the past) that nexus hubs take a couple more minutes to remove when changing a tire, it would be one thing, but to say "Riding a bike = flats. Its a good reason never to buy a nexus rear hub"...? C'mon... you ride IG hub, potential flats obviously didn't scare you off.
