Timely judgement as we enter pot hole season. Go the little man!

justMouse · 4th January 2008

Are you suggesting I am the owner of a £500 Marin hybird? Outside, now!

good job Ealing council pfft, theres a massive pothole just after the oz pie shop on shephards bush green which i found a few nights ago while riding at night, bloody made a horrible noise and now my headset is loose ..i should prob have a look at the steerer make sure theres no damage there ..wonder if i should claim ;)

Skully · 4th January 2008

I guess this should be on the probably-buried pothole moan thread... BUT... Has anyone SEEN the massive hole eastbound on High Holborn at Gray's Inn Road? It's gotta be six feet wide and nearly as deep. I'm scared every day going home.

fUxbridge Road!

Ealing!

Home!

Compensation claims here we come, doo dah doo dah!

So if I fancy a new wheel, I just need to find a nice pothole, take a few photos and send in a claim to the council? Cool.

BRM · 4th January 2008

Does anyone have buggered front wheel I can borrow, to take pics?
[edit]The pcture of the fucked Arrospok!!! Legendary.

hippy · 4th January 2008

No, but I can fsck one up for you if you want :)

lucky · 4th January 2008

Counted 5 massive ones on the way from Kennington to Peckham last night.

Yeah I hate that one.

edmundane · 5th January 2008

my wheel is out of true now because of a 5cm deep trench and my bollocks are still sore. show me the money southwark council!

Conan · 5th January 2008

My worst is the one on the aldwych bit between the bottom of kingsway and round to waterloo bridge, theres about 3/4 big ditches which are right in the middle of the lane and totally disguised until your on top of em, i fuckin hate them and shit myself everytime i go round there for fear ill hit em. Horrible horrible things!

lpg · 5th January 2008

nasty

That wasn't from Old Kent Road, that is in a terrible state, massive holes all over the place. When my tiny little Brompton wheels hit these it aint pretty!

JimL · 8th January 2008

Got a scare on Kingsland road today, just North of Dalson Junc. There's a groove in the road that's so deep it almost had me off (I tried to swerve, tyres didn't want to follow - dodgy moment)

alright, £300 Marin Hybrid...

CHUG_IT · 9th January 2008

The massive one right across the bus lane on Clapham Hill, between Stockwell and Clapham North, has been filled in quite nicely. That was a welcome surprise amid the gale last night.

Skully · 9th January 2008

yeah dontcha just love it when they resurface a road properly? Theobalds road was a lovely surprise, it was so bad before I was braving The Pit on Holborn in preference. Bet some cable layers will f it all up in a matter of weeks though.
