She isn't a yokel. No way. She does discriminate. I've had two visits this week, in addition to two other recent visits. The rear tyre is beginning to feel rather vulnerable and am wondering about a change.
I've also added 7 visits from earlier this year- when I had four in four days..

It'd certainly make a change from them feeling her pricks in their rears.
Tyres, obviously. Get your mind out of the gutter!

I get way more punctures in the city than in the country! I cycle roughly 60-70 miles in London every week and probably 50-60 in rural Kent with the cycling club. In the time I have been cycling with the club I think I have had 2 punctures, commuting through London over the same period it's probably more like 30 or more. Of course that may be something to do with the crappy tyres I hve been using on my commuter til now. I have recently upgraded to Gatorskins so all this may change...

There is more than one type of PF.
I can think of 3 which have got me.
The type who spread glass bottle+pint pot around usually in Summer.
There is the type who spreads car windscreens around over a whole stretch of bike path.
Then there is the one who spreads hawthorn around mainly in Autumn.

Yup. And considering changing too.
Oddly, I've had more problems with 25mms than 23mms.

But I think her heart yearns for ITB.
