TxDOT Will Review Seal Coat Process By Rick Ankrum, on November 2, 2008, 4:07 pm I missed this news from biketexas.org on October 3rd. I do not know any rider who relishes riding on a road with the “chip seal” coating TxDOT is overlaying on many roads.
from www.biketexas.org
Texas cyclists statewide, to our collective frustration, have watched over the years as more and more miles of smooth surface on favorite routes and loops have disappeared under a concoction of rock and oil, leaving an uneven, jarring surface and loose gravel that stays on the road for months. Known to cyclists as “chip seal” but to transportation engineers as “seal coat,” it is infamous among cyclists for causing dangerous riding conditions that have led to crashes and damaged tires.

About Texbiker.net Texbiker.net covers the news, events and resources for those interested in Texas bicycling.
My bicycling passion was rekindled in 1979 with a Huffy bicycle from Woolco. From early rides around my neighborhood my enthusiasm grew to tackle my unsupported first century. From there I discovered organized rides all over Texas, races and mountain bikes. Many bikes and miles later the enthusiasm is still there.
Thanks to my wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.
In 1999 Texbiker.net was born to help my fellow bikers have ready access to all of the information about the Texas bicycling scene.
