Today my tyre started to bulge out as I was going (at speed) down park lane. By the time I got to Hyde Park Corner I realised it had actually split. Fuuuu. Why do these things happen in the worse possible places and when I am late for work?!
For once I'm glad I don't weigh more. The guy in the bike shop said it was pretty incredible it hadn't exploded under me.
New tyre on, got to work on time. :)
