LOL that last pic looks like some of the streets here in Madison. NO JOKE. We have a couple of potholes/craters/ect that are a good 3 feet deep and about 5-6 feet across.

And that patchwork looks EXACTLY like it does around here....its BS

I almost stepped off the curb in Manilla, Philippines into an open hole in the street into an open and rapidly flowing sewer. After I mentioned it to one of my Philippino co-workers, they casually mentioned how a woman fell into one of these open sewers and was dragged through the pipes and recovered elsewhere where the pipes were open. I still get sick when I think about being sucked through a rapidly flowing sewer pipe full of shiznit. YUCK!

That's a shiznitty deal. I'd also have to say that's no shiznit, but the apparent abundance of excrement herein gives lie to that statement.
So in this I have one more thing to say;
shiznit happens.

and...That's a big hole in that pic...in fact..you could say it's one hell of a shiznithole, if in fact, leaky sewer pipes DID cause it..

.... If I loose control of my bike, because I hit a pothole that hasn't been repaired, can the state/county be liable for my injuries and bike repairs?

Would be hard to do i would think. My assumption is that you would have to prove neglect by the state/county to repair the pot hole, and it was in fact the pot hole that caused the accident.

'Round here you'd have to prove that the state/county (or in my case, province) knew about the pothole and that they'd had a reasonable amount of time to repair it or post a warning sign after finding out about it.
