Do you see a lot glass on the road?

I'm very curious to seek if states where there is a return on bottles have less glass!

I don't encounter glass on my travels. I do pass by pliers, screwdrivers, bungees and a host of other goods dropped by the farmers.

Mimi, I really like your avatar.

I like yours too, it inspired me to change mine! What state do you ride in?

I see a lot of glass on the road on my commute and on my long weekend rides. I'm in Vermont.

Here in Delaware, at least in the urban areas, there's a great deal of glass on the roads. Also, debris of all types, sand and gravel and every imaginable piece of scrap metal known to man. But I've had good luck with emailing the DOT and asking them to sweep certain sections that are particularly bad.

Oh, and did I mention how much I love my Panaracer Pasela tires in the urban jungle? *knocks on wood*

I ride the farm roads of Arkansas.

I want to dive into a pool every time I see your avatar, Mimi. I hope you don't post a pie in your avatar 'cause I'll want one.

I see some glass on the roads here in MA but the two flats I've had where I've pulled an object out of the tire have not been from glass (one was a nail, one was a big staple). A lot of the glass I find is pretty well pulverized so it's less of a flat-tire hazard.

I'm in a rural part New York. I see occasional glass. Way more road kill than glass.
I've only gotten one flat in about 6 or 7 thousands miles of riding all kinds of roads, both paved and gravel....it was from a small triangular piece of glass that had gone directly into my tire like a tiny knife.
I have really good tires that get me over the roughest sharpest gravel and stones.
Then again, we don't have goathead thorns here- i hear they are a big source of flats.
