I often get asked, “how often do I get a puncture?”. It varies depending on the time of year, what bike I’m riding and what tyres are on it. I’ve never actually counted, but would guess 5 or 6 a year, so I thought it would be interesting to keep a note of how many I pick up throughout the year.
For info I’m running Vittoria Rubino Pro 3 on my winter bike,
Continental Grand Sport on the summer bike and Schwalbe Winters on the mountain bike.
2019 Log

The first puncture of 2019 has happened to me đ
Flat tyre in the office when retrieving my bike (see Mounting Maintenance). 3,750 miles into the year so I suppose it had to happen eventually.
Tyre was a Continental Grand Sport and had done 1,350 miles – not amazing.
Crazy about cycle commuting. Rides to and from work through all weathers and every day possible.
