It was the day that my grandmother rim exploded:

Ulp! At least the tyre seems to have survived (and you?)

Mrs Pingu rode home and rescued me

The photo is on photobucket where the terms and conditions have changed so I can't share a link and I refuse to pay.  I'll have to see if I can find the original.

That happened to frankenfixie once.  I put some cable ties round the rim/tyre and rode the 6 miles home, albeit being a bit gentle over the speedbumps.

And I won't be patching the tube.

Seriously need to do some maintenance on my drivechain.

Chain jumped while riding out of the saddle going up a hill. Hit light hard enough with my knee that my leg has a cut in it, even though I was wearing jogging bottoms.

Both wheels slid on a sandy section of the KAW in the rain and I landed on a rock, the bruising was spectacular
