The night prior in the hotel room while I was adjusting the seat, removing the rear rack, and generally just messing around with my new toy - I proceeded to inflate the tires as I prefer bike tires inflated to their max for better rolling resistance. Well, you can guess what happened...
I noted on the front tires it said 95lbs, so I proceeded to pump up the tires in anticipation of the morning's long ride.
Left front - check.

Right front - check.
Rear - BOOM!!!
Well, the rear is a wider tire and the tube was only rated to 70lbs. Luckily I had researched in advance the closest recumbent shop just in case.

At 10:00am after breakfast at the Route 66 diner, they installed a new tube.
