I would love a congratulations, have a free tyre on us gift card that's for sure! It wasn't a blow out thankfully I was just riding along fairly slow and the bike seemed a bit weird. I came to a stop and it felt like the brakes were binding when I moved it backwards slightly, I then saw the rear tyre looked very squidgy which was the "oh bollocks" moment. Put it on centre stand, span wheel and saw an absolute whopper of a nail poking halfway into the tyre. So I've left the bike on the side of the road, thankfully quite quiet where I stopped and going back later today with my dad with a patch and a pump to get it the 1 1/2 miles back home then getting the wheel off and getting it replaced next week sometime.
