THIS
the section in front of the port of albany on top, and on the ramps are fucking horrid. When I rode to and from work, it was a major pain to weave around them… add traffic in both lanes and its even worse.
In my truck with 30" tires some of them, especially the slight bend to the right to hit the thruway exit 23 ramp these are sections in both lanes where you cant miss any of the holes, and hitting them at 55 they are HARSH. In my jetta with 18’s it would bend a wheel, I am hard on the brakes slowing down to try to avoid them every day.
On a bike, with a 25" dia tire or so with soft tires, with only a few inches of hard travel, hitting a 3-6" deep pot hole can easily bend/blow out a tire and send someone over the bars if they were sitting on the seat and didnt see it comming.
RIP to the rider.
