Surfaces

Last week I bought myself a bicycle, and have started cycling to work. This has brought to my attention the appalling state of the Evanston roads. There are cracks and potholes everywhere, and no-one is doing anything about it. The continual roadworks we suffer in England can't exactly be thought of as a good thing, but at least our roads are flat.

Now, the fact that my $20 second- (possible third-) hand bike has no suspension and no padding in the saddle clearly doesn't help things, but these bike rides to work are actually become quite painful in the posterior.
