Usually this time of the year, all the potholes are emerging from the winter season. My old route of going over a freeway overpass is really bad from the 18 wheelers getting on the freeway. I have thought of installing a Crane Creek Thudbuster on my bike, but since my bike runs on 25's and carbon forks, I decided to just changed route instead. One thing you might be able to do is to contact the city to see if they can patch those bad spot ASAP.
