BBC survey wants to hear cyclists' opinions on road potholes
BBC is inviting cyclists to complete a short online survey on whether they have ever had an accident as a result of a road pothole, and any experience in reporting a potholes to get it fixed


Britain's potholed roads cause a hazard for all road users, but cyclists can be particularly vulnerable to major defects in asphalt.
The BBC is running a survey for cyclists to answer a short series of questions on whether they have ever had an accident or been injured as a result of hitting – or avoiding – a pothole in the road, or not.
The survey only takes a few minutes to complete.

In addition to asking whether you have ever had an accident involving a pothole, the survey also asks whether you have ever reported the presence of a pothole, and whether it was subsequently fixed.
Results will be aired on BBC Radio’s 5Live Investigates programme at 11.00am on March 25.
We will also share the results here on www.cyclingweekly.com.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
