Three times.
Twice pumping a new tube up and hadn't got the tyre bead seated quite right, massive 120psi bang right to the face, ringing ears.
Once at the Bethnal Green/Cambridge Heath junction, side of the tyre pinched itself between the edge of a sunken drain, tyre and tube completely blew and left peds diving for cover thinking it was a gun being fired.
