Kudos to you sir! Thank you for helping everyone out.

 

Don't feel lonesome! You are by no means alone,every year our roads are getting worse and worse.Some to the point of running in first gear just to try and save the suspension.Good job our elected officials,one hell of a legacy.

 

You gotta love the People's Republic of Eugene, we have more potholes this year than ever before. Everyone is complaining, answer: build a multimillion dollar over pass for bicyclists.

 

Yeah, coming off a real bad winter like we had these things will get worse as we move towards summer. I will say Missouri tries to keep up with them but it does take a while.

Keep your eyes open!!!

 

Until recently I spent most of my riding in Chicago. I wasn't even able to run a 21 inch wheel the potholes were so bad. Guys in our club were replacing the 21's so often it was stupid. One of the first things I was able to do when I moved to Virginia was put a 21 back on the bike. Va roads are bad, but a 21 in Chicago was a waste of good money.

 

Down here there are signs that say "Caution substandard roadway ahead". Some of them would be fun on a dirt bike though! lol

 

Maybe the State of Maine could put the potholes on welfare. Then we would see some repairs.

 

The state of Vermont robbed the education fund for many years in an attempt, poor one at that, to patch the roads temporarily. And frankly a 5 year old could have made better repairs with a little plastic shovel. Now our taxes are going up yet again to pay for a shool system and transportation system thats broke. Our dirt gravel roads are smoother at their worst than our paved roads.

 

The problem her is that every once in a while I run across a freshly paved smooth road.......I don't know how to ride on that....

 

No they thought those were marked by a road crew supervisor and if they didn't fix them they would be in hot water with the boss. Keep marking them and those morons wil keep fixing them. I am going to do that this weekend by my house.
