It’s a bike, you just… Don’t hit the pot hole. They are small and agile vehicles, it really isn’t that hard unless it’d a literal sink hole in which case a car isn’t going over it either
Maybe the roads are pretty good where you are, but in the UK you’re forced to the side of the road, and there are loads of holes that wear down your bike. They’re bad enough that I’ve had to switch away from my ebike and road bike into using a mountain bike to get around.
Being “agile” is good and all when you’re not sharing the road with dozens of 1T killing machines…
I hit one once because it was dark and I didn’t see it it time (despite the streetlights and my own light). Literally hit the road head first (thank fuck for helmets)

Some roads are absolutely mangled
