I don't mind a bit of Heath Robinson. I don't mind people thinking of others.

i presume that it works when you ride through the pothole, so on my commute where i know where all of the potholes are and i already avoid them it would be pretty much useless then?!

The rest of the guy's stuff is great though, really like the furniture made from reclaimed timber from the Olympic stadiums hoardings.

Think the idea for the pothole marker is actually kind of funny and would be great.

Ace.
I love the 2012 hoarding sailing boats.

As for the pothole marker, this could be further developed to dispense an amount of quick setting concrete. Eventually potholes would cease to exist.

turn through 90 degrees, replace road marking paint with rocket, far better idea

I noticed Wokingham borough council were going round marking the pot holes after last winter and someone would fill them in a couple of weeks later.

I also noticed they tended to miss the ones at the side of the road. so I was tempted to buy some spray paint and mark these out myself but never got round.
