Yesterday, I was fixing flats on three different bikes. I went up to Robinson's and picked up some new tubes because the flats are all pin holes and I've never successfully repaired those. I fix one hole and another appears 3 inchs away. Nothing in the tire.

Wow. So many problems!

So now Frank is telling us that he never gets flats.

Not at all, Tom! I've described here getting something like three flats
within 15 miles. I've described other flats as well. Flats are a normal
part of bicycling.

But I do know how to successfully fix flats. Your "I've never

    If there's a piece of fine wire in the tire repairing the
inner tube will not prevent a flat a few minutes later.
    Fine wire is very common in our asphalt, which is made of
recycled truck/car tires (plus other stuff). It's the tires that have
those nasty stainless steel wires.
    I always run my finger round the inside of the tire before
replacing the repaired inner tube. I usually simultaneously find the
culprit and puncture my finger..

Tom has complained about wire flats before. He blamed it on Biden.

 Biden had his own sins but I'd bet we wasn't driving around on auto tires worn through until the steel wires shred.  Not in Oakland at any rate
 

He blamed bidens economic policies for creating an economic depression in california such that "nobody" could afford new tires and "everyone" was driving around on tires so worn that the belts were fraying and littering the roadways with bits of steel wire.

I stand corrected, first he blamed obama:
"During Obama and his Great Recession that the Stupid 4+1 don't believe was there hero Obama's fault, pe3ople without work would run their tires until the steel casing broke through and would bleed steel particles all over the road causing bicycles endless problems with flat tires almost constantly. This did NOT stop until Trump entered office and then disappeared almost overnight."
Note how the mere presence of trump in the whitehouse magically made all those wire shreds disappear "overnight".
_THEN_ he blamed Biden
"Biden trumped Obama by doing the same thing in three years."
