i've been riding a lot lately with my dad and older brother ( who hasn't ridden in 20 years) my father got a flat on his hybrid coming down a descent on our riverway trail bridge,



huge bang and pop, and then flat.. i take his tire off and inspect, nice little puncture, i quickly patch it and remount the wheel.. as i'm pumping i notice a bubble of tube protruding from the tire

i remember the dollar bill trick that people have used, and i was able to successfully boot the tire and get home, he had also blown a spoke in the process, so i had to detach his rear brake so the wheel could get through... crazy, still not sure exactly what happend. Luckily I had a replacement tire and I was able to replace the broken spoke once we got back.
