Whenever I go biking I always get these spiky thorn things stuck in my bike making my tires go flat…..
How do I either prevent these from getting stuck or whag should I be doing so my bike doesnt get flat everything one of these punctures my tube
This is only like 1/4 of my wheel and you can already see 4 of them…
What do I do so I stop getting flats from these thorns….

Tannus armor can be a solution if you don’t want to go tubeless. It goes between the tire and the inner tube protecting it from punctures
There will be people who hate this but… I put orange seal brand sealant inside my tubes assuming its above freezing it works good.
Don’t ride on that road…
But sealant works too
Go tubeless
Goat head thorns are tube killers. If you can go tubeless you’ll have a slightly better chance.
tubeless and foam liner.
best just to change the route.
My route to work is riddled with small sharp flints between the farmers fields. I cut two extra inner tubes longways and obviously removed the valves , now each wheel has two inner tubes between the inflated tube and the tyre . Several hundred miles later and not one puncture. I’ve had to pick out out loads of small stones stuck in the tyre but not one has stopped me .
