The state of our roads

It seems the wintery weather has been hard on our roads. Is it me or is it getting worse? Riding through Leatherhead I came across this crater. At first I simply rode past it not really noticing. And then when I finally twigged I stopped and rode back to inspect it.

Now that I'm spending more time on the road again I'm noticing more and more of these 'craters'. Sooner or later a fellow cyclist is going to become of victim.

After passing the crater I started wondering whether a campaign organised by cyclists might help strengthen awareness and result on local council action.

Here's an idea. If each time we spotted a hole we took a snap and published it on the web: Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, mobile apps, blogs, etc and tagged then with appropriate tags (or hashtags).

Just a thought.
