happened to me. had a ross 10 speed i'd ridden from arvada to golden. parked outside foss drug
and while sitting on a nearby bench the front tube blew. was running 110psi and didn't think
the heat was that bad.
maybe just an aneurysm, snort!
there was a small bike shop open (on a sunday) in the alley around back
(bike propulsion) and i got a new tube there and the owner even put it on, no charge for labor. later that summer i rode into a tree and that was that for ~10 years- herniated neck disc.
when i was looking for another bike i remembered how nice the owner had been and went to that shop. i got my present bike there and a few
accessories and a couple of tools. she of course didn't remember me or the repair, but was appreciative of my long term memory!
we're ten years on now (total of 20), still have the bike, she's closed the shop and got into fitness writing.
