Is London Serious About Building a Network of Elevated Bike Lanes?
The city is indeed mulling an elaborate plan to hitch bike lanes along elevated rail tracks.
The bicycle infrastructure arms race has moved forward once again with the news that London is toying with the idea of elevated bike highways.
The project is the work of Sam Martin, of Exterior Architecture, who's spent the last two years developing a concept for bike lanes truly separated from traffic. Martin doesn't bike anymore for safety reasons. But he would get back on two wheels to ride the SkyCycle, his proposal for elevated bike lanes that's already piqued the interest of London Mayor Boris Johnson.
