zenstyle 3 Report post Posted August 12, 2009 So I'm merrily tooling north on Eastern today, when before me I see huge patches of loose gravel on the road. (Hall/Franklin, thereabouts.) Loose gravel is scooter hell. Bambi on the ice. When this city does street repair, they seem to use one of three things: 1. Tar/asphalt you know, the hard stuff that's correctly used to fix roads. 2. The wet coffee grounds-looking stuff. Ridiculous. 3. F***kin LOOSE GRAVEL. Why not just pour ball bearings on the road; it would have the same effect! Oh, I'm mad. To which official entity can I complain about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Veloise 46 Report post Posted August 13, 2009 It's chip & seal, the favorite repair method in remote counties and townships. Car traffic eventually melds it into something smooth resembling asphalt. Meanwhile, us two-wheelers hold on for dear life. And it's all along Fulton (doesn't stay in place on Lake Drive). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
