Last time I broke a spoke I only realised once the wheel got bent, and then I noticed the wheel being bent and checked...

For those of us who ride bikes but aren't very technical how bad is it to ride a bike with a broken spoke?

It tends to promote breaking of adjacent spokes, and if the wheel gets enough out of true it rubs the brakes...

Bad. Bust tyre, more spokes, wheel, rear changer, etc, etc.

Not very, but should be fixed soonish. And you'll want to retrue the wheel around the broken spoke. My friend had a spoke break halfway through a 600k & I'm pretty sure we just retrued the wheel & kept going.
