I can't imagine how bad they are in those five states. There is a hill on one of my routes that until a year or so ago I could descend with only using my brakes some. But in the past year it's gotten so bad that I have to creep down it. In fact...I actually have to slow down some when climbing it.

Interesting list, but I'm not sure that their criteria - which emphasizes decrepit bridges among other things- match the specific experiences of cyclists. I'm sure there's a correlation, but there are lots of roads around here that are more or less acceptable for driving and hell on bicycle wheels.
