Flat-proofing a bike

Seeing sports bikes with skinny wheels and tyres on some country lanes is like taking a high end sports car off roading.

Learn to fix them, takes no more than 10 minutes. TBH, It's rare I get a puncture and I commute to work most days. I wouldn't be putting heavy puncture resistant tyres on a carbon bike. It will be like riding in treacle.
