A few weeks ago I pumped up the Bertin's tires expecting to ride it to work. For various reasons I ended up riding different bikes. Then I noticed the flat rear tire, just sitting on the basement floor. Ah, the Schrader valve blew out of the tube. All by itself. Probably would have scared the cat if we had a cat. That's the third time I've seen such a failure.
