In the latest incident four people were taken to hospital.
A cyclist, his face covered in blood, was treated at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, while three people in two cars were also checked over for injuries.
A witness to the incident in Springburn Road on Tuesday at 8.30am, said: “The cyclist’s front wheel went in to the pothole.”
Marion Kingsley, 46, from Bishopbriggs, said: “A man was on his push bike.
“I heard an almighty bang. He went over the handlebars.
“His face was covered in blood. I called an ambulance.
“I was on the phone to the emergency services when two cars watching the incident crashed into each other.
“A black car was in front, it slowed down and a green car went into the back of it.
“I then asked them to send more ambulances.
“There was some amount of damage to the car. One bonnet was bashed in.”
The pothole which caused the accident is 4.5in deep and 24in long.
Just 10ft further on is a group of four more potholes of a similar size and depth.
Springburn Road is a dual carriageway with a 40 mile per hour limit, used by many lorries, buses and cars.
Mrs Kingsley is concerned the road remained open after the incident without the pothole being repaired.
She said: “The road is always busy. It’s worrying that it’s still open.
“I always say to my son not to go near that pothole.”
A spokesman for Strathclyde Police, said: “Two road traffic accident reports have been submitted -- one involving a cyclist and one involving two cars.
“It would appear from initial inquiries that the two incidents are related.”
A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: “It would not be appropriate for us to comment on a police incident at this stage.”
A cyclist said he was concerned a similar accident could happen again.
He said: “As a cyclist, potholes are very dangerous. I worry about flying over the handle bars. By the time you see a pothole it’s too late. It’s just too hazardous at times to cycle in Glasgow.
“I’m a driver too and in the past my shock absorber has been damaged by a pothole.”
