I think most of us understand the danger of saying things like "I haven't had a flat in over a year," or "These tires never flat." The very next ride, you are almost guaranteed to get a flat.
I say, let's taunt the flat tire gods (or whatever cycling/tire diety you worship/respect/fear), and find out just how strong flat tire karma can be. To participate in the experiment, post something like "I've not had a flat tire in 6 months, and I dare the flat tire gods to give me a flat." (or maybe just the first part) Then, follow up and post when you get your next flat. Maybe we can find out, absent help from Mythbusters, whether taunting the flat tire gods causes flat tires.
Ok, here goes:
I've not had a flat tire since last winter. In fact, I can't even remember the last flat I got.
I dare the flat tire gods to give me a flat.
