Bike felt a bit funny on the way back home - the rear was moving around rather a lot over the slightest thing. I didn't want to lean it too much into the bends as you could feel the whole thing start to shift across the road.
Anyway, got home and thought I'd just check the tyre pressures. Before I waited for them to cool, I noticed the back was much, much warmer than usual, although it didn't look/feel wrong. Waited for it to cool, plugged in the meter and it read 4.5psi!
Hooked up the pump but it wouldn't hold any air. The needle would get up to pressure and then just drop away back down to 4.5psi. Obviously, a puncture of some sort, but I guess I'd always expected that if it was losing air that fast that it'd just be floppy on the rim and completely unrideable.
Anyway - what am I looking at in terms of getting it fixed? Will it need a new tyre?

Didn't see it at first, but looks like it might need a new one.
