Yep I sympathise with cyclists after the recent downpours. It must be a nightmare with all those potholes. Some of the ones up here are that bad cars were hitting them & not just puncturing but smashing the rims on their vehicles. If you hit one of those on a bike you'd struggle to stay on

Good idea Mulches the area so you keep the moisture in the ground & stops the weeds growing so you don't need to whipper snip around the trees
