Only one flat in 5000 miles. Lucky me! It was glass. Not surprising, I run over it at lest a dozen times each way on my daily commute.

I think I had 3. one was a tack, one was a wire, one was a pinch flat.

Glass, metal, sharp gravel. Nothing seems to want to penetrate my tyres. Conti SportContacts on two bikes and GatorSkins on my roadie.
I have, however, pinched a handful of tubes while mounting tyres, both my own and others. But since they were all taken care of immediately, inside, I don't count them as flats.
