Namely, what happens when one of your tires blows at 55+ MPH? I travel about 80 miles a day on my bike (freeway) and frequently glance at my front tire wondering "gee, if it blew out, I would...".. Has this ever happened to anyone? Front or back tire? Does the bike do anything that might be construed as fatal? Do bike tires even 'blow out' that often? Hope not.. Apprehensively.. -- Jordan K.
