Got a flat tire in a pothole disguised as a bike lane yesterday

I was cruising down the lane on Elm Street and hit a crater that was hiding under a puddle, and my front tire went flat in like 2 seconds. Had to walk my bike 10 blocks to a repair shop caked in mud. Has anyone else dealt with bike lanes full of hidden potholes?

Yikes, those aren't potholes, they're actual tire craters lol.

Last month I hit a pothole so deep on Oak Street that my phone flew out of my handlebar mount and landed in a storm drain. Still don't know if the bike or the phone had a worse day.
