Methinks the OP complaineth too much.

Honestly, I can't see much wrong in any of the pictures posted in the thread. I've been on much MUCH worse surfaces in the New England area where the ice has cause long, wide heaves in the asphalt (and we were riding in late summer).

And if you want hard-on-the-butt, even the concrete roads here in Lake Charles are tough because of broken corners and edges on the slabs, and the ever-present expansion joints.

Road and shoulder surfaces vary from very good to very bad in all parts of the world. Even bike paths in Holland can be iffy, whether it's rough surface from upraised pavers (or just pavers for miles and mile and miles) or tree root penetration.

It just means being picky with your routes, improving your bike set-up with wider tyres at lower inflation, and improving your riding skills.

Shoulder cleanliness, however, is another matter...
