Just a heads up--
There are, or at least were, a couple days ago som nasty holes and boulders on the way down Hudson street where negligence of maintenance makes the probability of a crash unacceptably high. I was traveling down the hill at a moderate clip (under 20 kph) and my front tire either plunged into a huge hole, or possible hit a huge piece of road that had come out a hole... I broke a collarbone and will be unable to do much of anything for 6 weeks or so..
So be careful if you ride down there, especially around the 500 block!
And anybody that has any connections to the road maintenance department of Ithaca, please tell the powers-that-be that the road is very dangerous there!.
