Chip-seal especially on the completely smooth road that was just paved last year that has zero potholes. What the hell? Last week I was looking back to make sure the car behind me didn't hit me when I made my left turn onto said road so I didn't realize there was loose chip-seal covering the whole thing until I turned onto it and my bike got all squirrelly.

Are you sure, riding the roads around around Sterling, VA is good way to join the DEAD pool.

Anything that squeaks, especially the saddle. Drivers that don't signal (same peeve while driving.) Always forgetting something in my 20-minute prep routine before riding (sunscreen, cell phone and money in small bag, check tire pressure, water bottle, tissues [end up blowing nose on sleeve]...) riders that call out "on your left when passing me," riders that don't call out "on your left" when passing me, riders passing me and scaring the hell out of me...
