Railway Tce Sth - Video footage

This hazard that was reported a year ago has now caused damage to a cyclist's equipment. See report here...
http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/forum/topics/new-wheels-pot-holes-and-space

No doubt council will say "not liable in tort" or "we have an exemption from liability under section blah blah blah".

Here's a response you can run by a lawyer...
The hazard was reported 12 months ago, and the inaction by council to remove the hazard is FACTUAL CAUSATION of the damage occured.

There is NO EXEMPTION to this.

(NOTE: These comments are not made by, or been discussed with the cyclist who's bike was damaged. These comments are driven by the damage i have incurred over the years from bad roads, and the escape clause that road authoritys (and councils) use, pretending they did not know about a hazard and hence "Not liable in tort".)

The section of Railway Tce South from Goodwood Rd to Devo Tce South is very poor and a hazard to cyclists. There are many rough patches, and a cyclist that stikes the rough patch, or avoids the rough patch, is at risk of collision with a passing vehicle..
Here is a link to a video of that section.
Please contact me in regards to the action you will take to remove the hazard to cyclists.
