HI,
If you ride in the countryside, you will be aware that most councils place a low priority on edge of carriageway potholes. Of course, these pot-holes exist exactly where cyclists are forced by cars: the edge of the road.
The best way to get councils to "review" and reconsider their lack of concern for these potholes may be to set up a website that will allow people to log any potholes they have officially reported, by council and location. That would allow injured cyclists to file lawsuits against the councils. Alas, this option, perhaps even this risk this creaates for councils, is likely the best way to get the councils to actually DO something about these hazards.
Is there anyone or any organisation up to the task of setting anything like this up?
Most sincerely,
MidAtlantian
