(Ed.'s Note: With the proliferation of potholes in the streets of Brownsville local residents know they have to veer off to one side and risk the possibility of causing an accident with oncoming cars or just close your eyes and feel the impact on the sides of the hole as your tires take a beating. So does your muffler, your windshield, shocks, etc., But if you ride a bike in Brownsville, you would get this contingent of city workers laying down asphalt for your riding comfort.
Notice, too, that they are using a novel new method, sprinkling limestone (expensive) on the warm asphalt to give bike riders a better grip. Also, look at the number of workers and city vehicles involved in this little operation. Besides the dour-faced overseer on the cell phone in the forefront, there are the workers who are actually laying the asphalt, the driver of the oil and asphalt truck and roller, and a number of supervisors making sure the job is done right. Today, when you dodge the traffic trying to avoid the cavernous potholes on your way home, think BIKE!)
