Yeah, good question, and one I've been pondering as well.

The big decline in flats a few years ago coincided with my office moving, as a result of which I stopped riding my folding bike on a regular basis. The smaller wheels seemed more susceptible to punctures (I know that doesn't make any sense). Maybe I'm just using better tires (I don't think that's it either). Maybe I've ridden over those roads so many times, my tires have cleaned up all the crap that would be causing me flats. Or not.

I think it's just dumb luck.
