10. Poor riding surfaces
For me personally, it would be wind, dogs, and car traffic. Everything else I can tolerate.

Out of this list?
cars
heat
downpour rain.
Cars are always worrisome, it's regularly over 100F, but that I can adjust to, rain isn't too bad but I don't like mtbing and tearing up trails when it's pouring and drivers here get worse in bad rain.
My worst would be
desire
:When I get in a rhythm this is a non issue, but sometimes I just don't ride for no good reason.
injuries
:Skin related or muscular. generally once I am on the bike it's fine.
people
some are holy oblivious but I deal with it most of the time.
deer
I ride at odd hours and deer like to cross the road as I am doing over 30mph downhill on a rim brake bike at night. I question this decision frequently, but I love the serene landscape when it's dark outside and quiet.
