Never had a flat? Guiness book of World Records where are you man? My last two were self inflected. While topping off, the bike shifted and the top of the stem broke off. I put Marathon Supremes on the Hillborne and have had no flats since but I've had my share and I hate 'em. Yes I do.
We might get a snow day or two down here, sometimes a little ice but really not much Winter to speak of. But we have puking hot Summers and I mean puking hot. Too hot to ride for more than an hour or so for several months. I'll take that over snow every day of the week. Anytime is gets below 50 I start getting nervous. I think those California folks have it going on - nice riding weather most of the year. Might join them out there soon, I hope!
