In three words....Goat Head Thorn
This invasive species has been puncturing our bicycle tires and tubes!
After three flats, and on the suggestion of our local bike shop, we have now upgraded all our bike tires with kevlar tire liners and thorn proof tubes. We ran kevlar-belted tires on our previous bikes and had few flats so hope this fix will provide similar protection in this desert area where thorns abound. It should also protect against the usual road detritus such as staples, tacks, glass, and nails.
