Ignoring the Gap: In San Francisco they’ve started a “turn ’em in” campaign to report potholes to the city. Which reminds me, as I try to dodge the fresh crop of cavernous spring potholes in Seattle, didn’t we pass a special tax to fix these things?
Wenatchee’s Tyler Farrar continues to tear it up on the world circuit. One to watch in the majors for sure!
Idaho mtb license plates: Use ’em or lose ’em!
The specialty plate law in Idaho clearly requires that in years 4 and 5 after the plate goes on sale that there are at least 1,000 plates in circulation in both of those years, or they terminate ALL the plates – not just stopping sales of new ones, but canceling registration of existing ones!!

Good to know, thanks Bryan. Seattle’s pretty good about bikes ‘n potholes, at least the last time I hit one that crimped my rim the city reimbursed for a new wheel…
The streets in Seattle are definitely getting worse. Don’t know whether its the bad winter of ’09 or what but I’ve been routinely hitting some mighty big potholes on my commutes….the kind that can land you on your head.
