I burst a tire today!
Boy, did that ever make a bang 
Luckily I wasn't on my bike at the time, just sitting on a bench chatting with some colleagues, with my bike laid down in the sun. Then an almighty POW!, like a gunshot, and it took several seconds until I figured it could be my bike. Yup, burst tire, and a tube in shreds!
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
