Lucky, could have been much worse with you and the bike sliding down the road.

This is happening much more these days, sleeping policemen everywhere and couldn't care less morons driving cars, thinner springs and corrosion provoked spring failures, still, keeps garages busy I suppose, 2 new springs on that axle etc.. :karma:

Has it not deflated?
Wheel looks weakened though so might need replacing ideally.

This is why I have this strange obsession with picking up anything that looks sharp and/or metallic in the road. My GF thinks I'm crazy, pulling up to an empty roundabout to pick up a piece of ratchet strap or something, but if it saves one person a puncture I've done a good thing IMO.

I've had five punctures in my life, one on the bike and four in the car, and if other people were as careful I'd have avoided all of them.

Find a replacement wheel on eBay and flog the borked one to someone on eBay.

[Powderhead]

It'll just be cheaper and easier to go through insurance I think. It means taking public transport with the great unwashed for a little while though

What bike is it? BCF will find you a wheel.

Ninja?

[Ste]

Yup but can you identify the model and the year from those photos?

(maybe I too could be ninja https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgSS1pDkMgQ )

Last rear wheel I bought for a bike cost £30. It had a half decent tyre on it too.
