London: potholes on Euston Road, Cally Road, Camden Road - road quality!

[rolling pebbl]

Hello!

Almost fell off my bike twice in one day recently. Not because i was being silly, not due to cars but POTHOLES! has anyone else had this problem? especially on the euston road, cally road, hillmarton road and camden road where you are basically forced into the gutter by the cars, and the roads are so bad - potholes everywhere - am scared that i - or someone else - is gonna have a serious accident cos of these!!

Does anyone know if there is a channel to talk to the local councils about this? or anyone who is already doing so?

Thanks !

Welcome by the way. We're honoured to have an aging rock stars in our midst. Oh hold on, we're all ageing rock stars. Laszyfatgit is actually used to be in the sex pistols, but nowadays he's Jonny Glutton

The roads are in bit's now..... so be careful !

Don't ride in the gutter: take primary, particularly if in a bus lane. Be prepared for taxi driver abuse, of course...

We need to get a fleet of these, ideally in CC livelry. I hate celeste.

celeste is a great colour! Is that suspension cleverly snuck in there -though with the potholes those rims may struggle a bit!

thankyou! - today on way home trying to avoid various holes got yelled at by a taxi driver and then some randomer came so close his wing mirror hit my handlebars!!! i swear everyone goes insane the minute night falls!

welcome rolling pebbl - check over your shoulder as it'll giveyou an indication of what's coming up behind and definitely ride out a bit wider in the road if you need to

Welcome to the forum!

Try glancing behind your shoulder frequently as that'll give you an indication of what's coming and ride out a bit wider if you need to.
