www.fillthathole.org.uk is a CTC initiative that's been running for quite a while. I've used it a lot reporting kerbside craters making life exciting when commuting to work. You know, when one looms and you've got a truck or bus on your elbow.

Now here's at last a sensible use for Howard's GarminGadgets! Any hole en-route can be plotted with utmost precision, and transmitted by on-bike computer for instant reporting via CTC to North YorksCC etc for filling.

Meanwhile until all holes on a 117km (Tan Hill) km radius from York are filled it seems good advice not to give ALL standing water on the road a wide berth. Or ride with max travel front shockers.

Oh, by the way, I've just bought the last-but-one heated SIDI cycling shoe insoles from Wiggles. Size 44, all others gone. But don't fight!

It asks for size and depth, I want to report a cluster, probably about 100 in total on Oxford road Manchester.

Am I able to do this? the road is killing my wheels.

Either way I typed in:
Oxford road, Manchester, bus lane, general pot holes all along oxford road mainly near the MMU (Manchester Metropolitan Uni).

I'm unsure of the size and depth, all I know is their is ALOT of pot holes all along oxford road between curry mile and deansgate, they are a danger to cyclists and I've nearly being knocked off my bicycle on more than one occasion by these. Some are 1M+ from kerb.
Hopefully something will be done, doubt it though :\
