Back on December 29th, I was crusing at 20 mph, leaned into a right turn, then heard a loud pop. I found myself using my right shin as a brake. Somehow, my rear tire blew at the wrong time. I didn't really fall off the bike, just rode it to the ground. The only damage to the bike was a broken rear shift cable, missing cable tension bolt, and some shredded bar tape. Thankfully I didn't hit my head, as that was my first ride out with my new helmet.
