You need to inflate your tires properly. Most bike tire flats are caused when the tube gets pinched in some way due to inadequate inflation. Pump them up to 95% of the max recommended on the sidewall. You'll hardly get a flat. Get one of those stand pumps with a built in pressure gauge. Best investment you'll ever make for your bike.
