You were lucky. I had three separate flats on a 90 mile ride. In the rain!

As Jobst used to point out, water is a great lubricant for glass shards. I can have a small, well lubricated shard wreak havoc on a casing -- and some are tiny and not that easy to find, hiding under the tread and not visible through the underside of the casing -- coming out to play when the tube is inflated.

In my area we have had a lot of Dihydrogen Monoxide put onto the roads
lately. It's a widely used industrial lubricant and for some reason
someone thinks it's a good idea to put in on the streets. It reduces
traction on the roads and it increases the likelihood of punctures.

Gee, I thought that stuff was deadly. I read somewhere that exposure
to it for some period resulted in 100% fatality.

If it's deep and cold enough.

Experiments prove that even 1 cup of it can be fatal.

But drinking it out of a styrofoam cup provides 85% protection!

Not only that but, I have read, that those who ingested the stuff over
a certain period of time have all perished.
