(WSYM) - Good Morning Mid-Michigan! I'm your neighborhood reporter Will Lemmink, and I stopped by the Sunfield Cycle Shop to see how bikers are handling pothole season. As roads thaw out, potholes become a bigger hazard for motorcyclists, especially on bikes with thinner front wheels. MDOT is already on the job, patching up to 100 potholes a day to keep roads safe for everyone.
