Default Small Road Milling Machine for Bicycle Lanes

A smaller version of asphalt road resurfacing equipment could smooth off buckled pavement in bike lanes and paths.

Unlike vehicle lanes bike lanes wouldn't need or want a fresh layer of asphalt.

Bicycle wheels roll over a small crevice much better than a ridge.

CalTrans, the League of American Bicyclists, Gov. Brown and who ever makes the milling machines might be interested in eliminating the unpleasant bumps.

A 3' wide machine might not cost much to build or operate. Lots of buckled asphalt in the desert.

No deserts in the UK. 3 feet isn't wide enough for a safe bicycle lane.
