And the four bikes were for four different riders. One of them in particular (not me, I have good goat head protection) collected 20 of the 27 flats.

Even with good flat protection, every bike I own still has 15+ patches on each tube. 5 bikes, 10 tubes, 15 patchs per each = $900. Yea, I'm going to throw tubes away after one flat
