It was a lovely evening. It was light when I left at 5.30. Though it turned dark very quickly. Am loving these non wind commutes.

yea, completely different from this morning. Passed a few bikers on the way, shame there is no 'secret handsignal' to identify fellow cc'ers.

I have no idea mate low speed road was a bit rough but nothing id worry about tbh but as you can see something went horribly wrong somewhere...................

Wow I have never seen a wheel do that, well done. Hope you are OK.
Now you get to contemplate sexy new wheels, perhaps something in carbon fiber with a secure metal brake surface?

Much more likely your rim split first rather than the innertube splitting the rim. How many miles have you done on the rims?

Worn out rim. Done it myself trying to run a rim beyond life. Did mine at about 17 mph round a roundabout.

Worn rim most likely cause, was it a high mileage wheel? I've seen them go before but not like that one went. Sorry cross posted with fossyant.

Cold commute today. Absolutely beautiful ride in the morning; little bit of frost on the paths, sun shining, still sea. It was brilliant! Just what commuting is about.
Then on the ride home I had just left college and went over a bump. It caused my panniers to make a bang just as I passed a woman pushing a bike on the footpath. It made her jump! I apologised and she said it was okay.
Then on the prom I saw a woman and man running together but the man was a little ahead of the woman. As I passed I said to the woman "He's getting away from you!" She replied "I know!" It cracked me up.
Plenty of frost on the path tonight and saw a puddle steaming it was that cold! Lovely bit of bolognase and brulee waiting for me at home though.

A lot warmer this morning, still got the ice tyres on, though didn't need them, bit slower than normal as the wind seems to have returned and as per usual whichever direction I headed, it seemed to be in my face.
