Pothole on First Street ruined my tire rim!
9/11/2007 at 8:10 PM
What a mess! I was travelling south on First Street, past Kirkcaldy, turning the bend alongside the river before the bridge and BAM! The biggest pothole!!
My front right tire sunk into the jagged hole and ruined my rim. I had to call for roadside assistance for a tire change.
Thank you to several passers-by for stopping to offer assistance. Especially Vicky....
What an annoying start to my weekend!
A new aluminum rim will likely be around 200$.
There was no sign posted, which I find especially annoying, as this could likely have been avoided.
With the stream of traffic that was travelling along there at 4:30pm its surprising there wasn't an accident.
I'm thinking of writing the City a letter of complaint. Guess it can't hurt!
