Here's the story:

I was sick for a week, and then on vacation for a week. When I got back, my
back tire was very low, having about 20 lbs of pressure. Front was fine.
Before I took off for work, I pumped the tires up.

About three miles into the ride, I heard a loud bang,

Either brakes but more likely a small sidewall tear or even UV
degradation. Is the tire papery feeling?
