Potholes and helping fellow riders......
Hello all fellow riders. I almost had a "get off" the other day by a stealth pot hole. If I would have hit it my front tire would have gone down in it at least to the rim. And then last night, I was on my way into work coming to my intersection to make a right turn, and just as I got in the lane, presto, a young buck (deer, 6 pointer) was laying across the entire lane. I was able to get aroud it with no issue. When I got home I googled "how to report a pot hole" and every state has a link via DOT, to report a pot hole. So I was thinking , if we reported a pot hole that we come across, we could help prevent a fellow rider taking a fall. And if enough people report it, I'm pretty suere that it would be move up on the DOT priority list fairly quickly. Anyone have a input about it?
Cheers
Ron
