Had a blowout today. The tire bead gave way enough to let the tube get between the tire and the rim which lead to a very load psssssss.

I noticed it being out of round riding and was going to look at it tonight. The tire is toast I'll have to get another one. The good news is that it made it till I got within 20 yards of the house to let go.

I had some one yell "illegal" and stand on the horn as they floor it from 2 lanes over. Don't know if he though I was an illegal or that I was breaking the law riding on the road. Either way he was wrong on both counts
