Almost two million people will live less than a mile from the new cycling autobahn [...]
the bicycle highway will be 13-feet wide—or almost double the width of normal cycle paths—and have no crossroads or traffic lights. [...]
it’ll also be greener. RVR estimates that the route will take 50,000 cars off the roads every day.</p></em><br /><br /><p>More on cycling infrastructure:</p><ul><li><a title="As bicycle ownership in North Korea rises, Pyongyang introduces bike lanes" href="http://archinect.com/news/article/131869805/as-bicycle-ownership-in-north-korea-rises-pyongyang-introduces-bike-lanes" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">As bicycle ownership in North Korea rises, Pyongyang introduces bike lanes</a></li><li><a title="Boris Johnson greenlights London's "Crossrail" bicycle superhighway" href="http://archinect.com/news/article/119508970/boris-johnson-greenlights-london-s-crossrail-bicycle-superhighway" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Boris Johnson greenlights London's "Crossrail" bicycle superhighway</a></li><li><a title="Gensler proposes "Underline" bike paths in London's abandoned tube tunnels" href="http://archinect.com/news/article/120043559/gensler-proposes-underline-bike-paths-in-london-s-abandoned-tube-tunnels" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gensler proposes "Underline" bike paths in London's abandoned tube tunnels</a></li><li><a title="Atlanta plans big for bikes, and Atlantans turn out big time" href="http://archinect.com/news/article/111504452/atlanta-plans-big-for-bikes-and-atlantans-turn-out-big-time" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Atlanta plans big for bikes, and Atlantans turn out big time</a></li><li><a title="Protected bike lanes strengthen city economy, report finds" href="http://archinect.com/news/article/91832887/protected-bike-lanes-strengthen-city-economy-report-finds" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Protected bike lanes strengthen city economy, report finds</a></li></ul>
