Bike tires seem to go all at one for me (this photo is of the same tire, different sections). Time for a new tire.
Never just jump on the bike and ride. And never risk disappointment when you travel to ride by assuming your bike is in working order only to find yourself taking the drive of shame home due to a mechanical.
An easy way to make sure your bike is in good working order is to do an ABC Quick Check.:
Air: Be sure you have enough air in your tires
Brakes: Look to see that your brake pads are not worn
Chain and Cranks: Pull on your cranks to see that they are not loose and look to see that the chain is not rusted and it is free of gunk
Quick Release: Make sure all quick releases are closed
Check: Take a slow brief ride to check that your bike is working properly
