When Potholes Bloom
As the water seeps into the cracks in the road and freezes, potholes on the road get worse. This is a big problem in Oxford, England. According to cycling organization CTC, potholes went from 750 in December 2009 to 3500 in January 2010 -- and this is after the government filled almost a million of them last year. Roger Geffen, at CTC, estimates that only 30-40% of the reported potholes are handled. One man, however, has had enough. And he's using flowers to prove it. Forget stuffing them down gun barrels, Pete Dungey is ridding Oxford of potholes by filling them with primroses.
