Thinking over the box

As in the boxed in traffic.

Meet the Kolelinia a proposal to put bike lanes in the sky above the traffic.

At first though I looked forward to these spandex wearing nutters providing entertainment by falling from the lines to the joy of those stuck in the traffic below. It’s amazing what you can find to cheer you up. However, thinking just that little bit further I realised that they would be landing on something below that would then cause a traffic jam and hold us up. So not so good.

Personally I don’t see this being for bikes. Too dangerous to get past H&S. It has so many holes in it that it will never see the light of day here. Too dodgy but think about this in the third world. Less beurocracy and less cars. They could use this technique to bridge ravines, rivers and dangerous areas. Fix the bikes to the system so they can’t be removed, or fall off, in a similar way to chair lifts but where you power the system yourself via the pedals.

  • I’ve always wanted the bike to sprout wings and fly but that way I can’t pick up my burger on the way home.

  • The problem with that is the car fumes and other fumes at ground level would rise and that is just where the unprotected are – i.e. the bike riders.

    James, you stop half way home and what is the problem with the fumes. Half of them are brain dead anyway.
