...bike trouble...

a few weeks ago riding my bike, i heard this "pow" and my back tire was immediately flat, it didn't even drain gradually like you do when you usually get a flat.

when i took it into the bike shop, the bike guy extracted a 3-inch long nail from my tire, and said he'd never seen anything like it...

usually, he said, the tire brushes aside stuff like that, but it must have been positioned just right to go into my tire like that - and now I'm left wondering, had someone deliberately planted a nail like that in the road to get cars or bikes?
