I've been riding my new road bike semi-regularly since April, and have had two flats. Another woman I ride with has ridden for years and never had a flat. Before buying the road bike I rode mountain & hybrid bikes for years and never got a flat (of course, those tires are much fatter). Is two flats a lot in not a lot of riding?<br><br>
The first flat, I rode over something small and sharp -- there was a tiny puncture in the tube. Tonight was a sudden blowout, loud gunshot sounding noise and a large hole in the tube. What would cause that to happen?
