The pothole first reported last year is extremely dangerous. A cyclist going into it would inevitably come off and at best be badly injured and possibly much worse. It is without doubt in the "dangerous" category and I can only imagin g what a sheriff or judge would say if this message and others were brought before a furtue fatal accident inquiry or civil action.
