I'm getting the feeling that either I wasn't clear or there are different chip seals. What I'm talking about is a stone and oil surface with the stones so loose that bicycle and motorcycle wheels slide a lot. By a lot I mean dangerously. Chip seal pops up and dings the underside of your bicycle, motorcycle, and car. It is not inconsequential. It is a paint killer and dangerous. I had to slow to 10 mph to stay upright where I usually do 20+ mph. It can be very scary. It's not just about being inconvenienced.
