Funny, but my worst experience was with a Velo to, but considerably earlier, as they had just opened the Forth Road bridge.
The one with the rusty main cables.
Just bought the Velo, and decided to see if it would do the ton on the approach roads to the bridge, which were amount he only bit of dual carriageway around.
It did, but only on the run down to he bridge and I was still doing 90 or so with the toll gates in sight and grabbed a handful of front brake.
At which point the valve pulled out of the tube, the beads came off the rim, and I had to wrestle the bike from the extreme right lane across the 8 or 10 toll gates and through the emergency lane at the left side.
The P0 had repaired a tear in the tube adjacent to the valve with half a dozen push bike patches-----------.
Had it happened anywhere else I might have been in real trouble, and an experience like this does affect your thinking.
The fact that my old man had told me to put decent tires on the bike before I tried to do the ton on it is also still in my mind too-----------.
