CHIP SEAL.
Chip seal is NOT a BICYCLE FRIENDLY thing to do. In an auto lane, chip seal is flattened in 2 weeks. In a bike lane, that NEVER happens, however long you wait. What we have instead is a quarter inch up and a quarter inch down every quarter inch forward. That is called vibration, and after a while the riders hands go numb. Then the problem really begins, because the riders wrists flop around, hammering the cartilige beween the wrist bones with the wrist bones, causing progressive, pemanent, damage.
DO NOT CHIP SEAL THE BIKE LANE. It is an assault on every single rider, ever afterward. Especially the road bike riders, who rest on their hands and have skinny, high pressure tires.
