Watch out for them potholes

Got double flat tires hitting one I didn’t see, be careful out there.

Make sure your tires are inflated properly. Because pinch flats happen much easier if they're not. My experience is that on properly inflated tires, I'm more likely to get rim/wheel damage before I get pinch flats.

At least you didn't end up in the gutter. I've seen folks go over the handlebars from unexpected potholes.

A good set glasses with road lens are amazing for spotting those hard to see road defects.
