this is an easy question.

a flat 1.7km stretch along sheppard ave east, westbound from markham rd to mccowan rd in scarbourgh[east toronto], ontario. on strava it is called 'IEDs'. the potholes curbside are so big and deep you would be lucky to get away with just a bent wheel and flat. when taking it quickly you need to shoulder check if you have room or not and decide if you want to hit the middle of the right lane or bunnyhop. i am proudly the KOM of this section with a time of 3:03[avg speed 32.9kmh]. task was completed on my felt breed singlespeed cyclocross 42/16 wearing a knapsack and i def almost died doing it. sometimes they do a quick patch on a few of them but it usually doesnt last and the bits of asphalt they used just become new obstacles. the reason the road is so bad is because the TTC bus depot is right there and bus traffic is heavy. construction would infringe or the bus operations so i guess they just leave it alone and 'bandaid' spots that get too dangerous for cars.
