It's not a dumb question at all. Just a few years ago I bent both rims on a
motorcycle I was riding when I hit a horrible pothole near the center of the
lane on Rt. 22 near Somers. If you think it's exciting on a pedalbike you
should try it at 60mph on a motorbike.

I think 22 is a state highway.

1-800-pothole. No, really.
http://www.dot.state.ny.us/news/2004/800-pothole.shtml It's geared more
towards single potholes, but I'd think if you say there's a mess of them,
they gotta listen.
