this is why i didn't ride this morning. i rode up pine street to the highway with no noticable problems, but as soon as i turned onto smoother tarmac, i felt the bump, bump, bump. i pulled to a stop and felt along my tire until i found the cause: a hernia. the tube was sticking out through the tire.

since everything was still sort of intact, i turned around and pedaled slowly and cautiously back home. i pulled into the garage and removed the wheel. i took it inside to take a picture of it and BAM! it exploded! sure glad that didn't happen out on the road at speed. i'd have crashed for sure.
