Sorry to hear that. My worst pothole was on the way home at night, raining cats and dogs, shiny road, it was hiding in a puddle and I never saw it until I felt it. Flatted my tire instantly, but thankfully my wheel was still okay. Just had to walk home in the rain, for which I was already inadequately dressed and therefore soaking. Thankfully, it wasn't too cold (although not warm either), and I was only 1/2 mile from home.
