I'm sitting on a beanbag reading the internets, and my bike, on the other side of the room, just spontaneously punctured itself…. how does that happen?

Loud crack, and then a sound like cola fizzing over as all the air leaks out....

Found a teeny 5mm tear in the tyre running inside one of the treads. I guess the inner tube had managed to squeeze through it a little and then got pinched as the tyres cooled down after the ride - POP!

New tyre. Blech. $50 each.

What tires are you running?

I've been having great luck with my Schwalbe's.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

This reminds me of one time when I was a kid and my cousins were over for thanksgiving. A glass full of ginger ale and ice cubes just spontaneously exploded all over the table.
