Flat tires!
Man, I am averaging a flat per month...Maybe it's all the debirs on the Jersey roads. I switched to the armadillo tire treads today with some new tubes and am hoping that the kevlar wall helps me avoid these punctures.
Anyone have any experience puncture proofing your rides?

Make sure you are keeping the tires fully inflated. It seems that you get more flats with partially inflated tires. Maybe not, that is just what I see.

Fresh Garbage
You can try tire liners. A bunch of people have suggested I get them but I haven't had a puncture flat in a long time so I'm not going to do it.
