Flat Tires

So, what's the deal with all the flat tires? I mean, I've been driving a car for years and I've only had maybe 2-3 flats, and only one while actually driving. I had three flats on the trike just this weekend. I know that were dealing with thinner rubber, but this is ridiculous. I am getting very fast at changing tubes in the tires though. I haven't patched any of the tubes yet because I can't find my patch kit. I've used all my spares so far though, so I'll either have to buy a patch kit or more tubes.

Don't know whatthe terrain is where you live but up here in SE Washington (the great inland desert) I had to put tire liners, thornproof tubes on my trike after getting two flat tirs in two days from the thorns. I also put slime in but don't know if it is overkill or not as it is a mess if you haveto change a tube. I am running Schwalbe Marathons on my Logo and gt over 12oo miles before I replaced them. The Marathons can be run with up to 100 psi.
