I think it may be something to do with where we ride on the road. Cars usually drive down the two swept tyre lane, and we don't. Maybe.

I also heard that most puncture are in rear tyres (certainly was the case for me with a nail in a BT014) as a nail that is lying down on the road can be flicked upright long enough for your rear to go over it. Holds for cars and bikes.
