As far as your weight question, if you are with in reason the weight doesn't necessarily cause flats unless you are way over the limit. i have a 1970's Sears and Roebuck 10 speed with the ultra thin tires, they take 90 pounds of pressure and i load that sucker up, plus my 300 pounds without any problems, so i would check for obstructions in the tire that could have caused your tube to go flat.

I was told that I have to keep filling it up with air occasionally. But you might be right. I'll check it out. I walk 170 lbs. My bike is like a decade old.
