I had to repair a flat. Have some questions.

Is it best to apply patch to a completly flat tube?

I found a small copper wire in tire.

Is there something to minimize what can puncture tire?

Thanks

If you find a way to escape flat tires do write back.

One way is to not ride. :-)

One thing that helps is to ride away from the gutter. If you ride on the
section of road that's routinely contacted by car tires, you'll find
it's swept clean of most debris.

Lots of glass shards, wire bits etc. get tossed out of that area toward
the far right, where most cyclists like to ride.

Interesting.

We have frequent street sweepers, so the bike lane is usually pretty clean.
