POTHOLES

[falmouthtony]

Don't know about you guys but I've had some very close encounters of late, specifically with water filled deep potholes. Had I not been going at a snails pace by good chance I'm certain one particular one would have put me in hospital.
I then came across this web site which may also help others:

Hope it's of some use.

Our local authority (Staffs Moorlands) has one on its own web page. Recent repairs have been very good indeed, can't feel it under wheel.

I hit one a couple of weeks ago. As you say, it was covered by a shallow looking puddle. I spotted it at the last moment and was able to lift the front wheel. Destroyed the rear wheel. Had to rebuild with a new rim.

Not just us ordinary cyclists who come a cropper with holes in the roads either. Even Boris got a taste of the real world London roads http://road.cc/content/news/111282-boris-johnson’s-bike-destroyed-pothole
