Add to that the typical street lighting at night - which is about as bright as a key fob torch stuck deep in a thick sock - and it's amazing there aren't casualties every evening.
JK2006	The story of "replacing Victorian water mains" and our courtyard cobblestones does not bear repeating.
ReadyTeddy	Sorry to hear that JK. As a cyclist I am all to aware of what happens when I hit a deep hole - I am thrown off my bike. I think that it is not a matter of 'if' but when that will be. I did see road repair gang in operation the other day - they would have made you weep. Two men, both in filthy yellow coats - one fat and one thin. The fat man was using his heel to try to level out a lump of ill-fitting tar whilst the thin one just lent on his broom studying the heel-work of his cohort. Needless to say the tar in that hole lasted about one day and is now scattered on the pavement. What a waste of my money. RT
Prunella Minge	Dreadful. In a more litigious country like the US they'd never dare allow this sort of thing to fester like this. There are pot holes near me deep enough for Mark Owen to hide from all of his ex-girlfriends. Whilst standing on a crate of wine. They're really deep. Presumably the council will wait until some cyclist breaks their neck before snapping into action.
JK2006	You're lucky to have any roads RT; here in London they are all closed. It took me three hours to get into Soho and back (a 20 minute walk).
