That sucks. I've been having quite a few issues with potholes lately (as has everyone in the denver metro area). Fortunately I have been able to dodge quite a few and have only hit small ones.
The potholes combined with the ice, slush, or ice slush and water is making commuting unenjoyable for me. I am seriously thinking about getting a trainer and keeping the bike inside until this melts. It's too damn stressful. My arm and hip still hurt from last week's crash.
A trainer appears to be my safest and cheapest option. Must ponder....
