What we really need are covered bike super highways. Think of a ring around a large city. There are humongously tall elevated bikeways with a nice downgrade. You ride your bike over to the nearest one, take the elevator up about a mile or so, get off and ride down. When you get to the central city you are halfway up. You can then switch to another path and continue the glide down to ground level or you can take the elevator down to the ground. All the paths are like spokes on a wheel. Anything wrong with my plan? I mean, besides the need to make them earthquake proof? |

I'm all for biking if you can, but it's just not possible for everyone. I have an awesome, fast road bike somebody gave me that I use pretty often. I just moved to an area where the conditions aren't so great for the road biking, but I used to do 15-20 miles 5 or 6 days a week. I like the exploring factor that biking provides

:lol: Only one thing: HOV lanes. They would pivot back and forth, to slope towards or away from the city during morning and evening rushour, respectively.

It's all uphill going back, though. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
