Honolulu hosts a Marathon in December, where runners dodge potholes. The rest of year, motorists dodge bikers flung far and wide by potholes. Perhaps the pharmaceuticals will donate out-of-date pills to fill our potholes? Mahalo for bringing this national tragedy to light!

Dunno why, but my first thought at the title was someone using "medicinals" contemplating gaps in their supply chain. (And I don't even smoke the stuff —honest!). Then I saw you're a bikey person (in comments —hardcore—I might add) and certainly I relate to the I-BPro. Alieve is my best friend, though biking in the desert helps a bunch. SUNSHINE AND WARMTH. Dig your style! Bike on ~ john

L O L hadn't thought of that, trying not to over do the "vitamin I" myself. Envy the desert dry heat, hot and humid summers here; oh the extremes. As we courier folk say: Rubber Side Down! (retired after 20yrs, rockin' dog cargo trike now) 13mo ;)

You bet! Biked 17 winters in one of coldest capitals in the world, intimate with pot holes ;) Only a sense of humour got me through xomo
