There are two manhole covers along Westbury Road between Henleaze Road and Henleaze Gardens which are poorly set in the surrounding tarmac. The second has a hard edge of metal raised compared the manhole lid and caused me a double pinch puncture on both wheels of my pedal bikes. I live reasonably close so was lucky to be able to walk home but it has required two replacement inner tubes and a new tyre!
