This may actually prove to be a very valuable contribution from the work you are doing; to begin the development of a paving standard that is applicable to bicycles.

The automobile index "is based on the concept of a 'golden car' whose suspension properties are known." I'm sure we can all have some fine battles over which is the "golden" bicycle!
