As it will be the required six weeks since my skull fracture for the healing to take place by this Sunday, I can officially go out on my thing with two wheels. The potential problem I can see though is the number and severity of the potholes that have been caused by the appalling winter. Some of the holes are so deep, they look as if they've been caused by a bombing mission and may be hiding an enemy soldier to take strategic positions.

Have the proliferation of potholes affected many of you good people on here? Is the favoured cyclist's road position seriously affected due to the large holes nearer the kerb and forcing abrupt changing in travel so as not to crack a wheel?
 
Its caused me a couple of punctures, and some bone rattling moments. Its a bit better now that I leave home in daylight and return in daylight, at least you can see them well in advance and adjust your road position.
