Had a run of three flat tires in one week on my bike in Omaha
I got three punctures in five days riding to work last month. The last one happened in a downpour at 72nd and Dodge and I just sat on the curb laughing. Has anyone else had a streak of bad luck that felt like a targeted attack lol?

Three flats in five days is brutal. I had two in a week on my old bike and started suspecting someone was sprinkling Tacks or something near my route. Sat in the rain laughing is a nice perspective honestly, like when you hit a point and there's nothing left to do. Omaha's roads are full of surprises, I've had more than a few tire issues on gravel patches that look like pavement but aren't. Hopefully your luck turns around soon, otherwise might be worth checking the wheel rim or getting thicker tires if you can. A streak like that makes you feel like the universe has a grudge against your commute.

Found a thumbtack in my tire once and carried it around all day thinking it was a sign of something.
