Fill that hole: Report pothole hazards on your routes - fix potholes

we would all get nicked for criminal damage ;-)

How is it damage?

I should send the council a bill for all the flat spots on my wheels..

Your wheels aren't used by the public...

i was joking hippy,now get back to abusing your midgets

Surely it would be better to bombard them first with *actual *reports via

Like hundreds. Every pothole with a picture on OKR, or wherever you ride. This seems like a better idea before turning to vandalism. After all the online 'official' reports are filed I'm happy to partake in vandalism ;)

Reporting is fine. Marking would visibly highlight the hole. Not sure how this would stand as vandalism. It's a hole in the road.. I'm not suggesting you throw down a "piece"..

The race organisers marked out the potholes as a visible safety pointer. Not sure if they were sanctioned to do this but as it was an official race with rolling road closure from the po po wasn't frowned upon at all.. Those halos will stay around for a good while.

I can imagine some press popping up about the "increasing number of strange highlighted pot holes..." blah..

How would said cyclist sue anyone?

I thought about doing this a while ago and decided it would be futile if it was just me. If others are up for it, I'll give it a go!

Doesn't need to be high viz paint...does it? A nice bright yellow would be better than nothing.

My wheels operate on a road that my tax is supposed to pay to keep in a fit state for use, no?

We dont pay road tax as cyclists.

Nobody pays road tax.

Lil' Lord Osborne announced £100 million to fill potholes in the budget today.

Imbeciles, surely they should use tarmc or summat.

zing!

All my favourite jumpers have potholes in. :(

so does the dustpan mean something?

apols for starting a thread when it could have been done in this one

The southwark cyclists e-group got a note from this councillor about Southwark potholes. I emailed her a list, most of them are on the one in the link above.

Funny that after a councillor starts cycling, all of a sudden these issues become more important to them. She seems to have a decent grasp of the problem though, which is good. If you live in southwark it might still be worth emailing her.

Yes. Ron Cooper, in an interview by Jack Thurston, suggests that, unlike steel which may often be repaired, a crash on one of these 'plastic bikes' means you may as well just get out your dustpan & brush.

It's retrogrouch humour. Stay with me.

321 you're back in the room

Because that's how the world works. Do you care about the state of the British paper industry right now? And would your view change if you became a buyer for a large corporate in need of high end custom embossed paper?
We can't all care about everything, however much we kid ourselves, we simply wouldn't function if we did.

Calm down. You're right, I don't care.

But what some profit-making enterprise needs to make more money for itself is not quite the same as the service provision one might expect from a public good.
