Floating cycleway plan more of a tourist attraction than real commuter lane

Floating cycleway plan more of a tourist attraction than real commuter lane:



This is quite a fun proposal by some London architects to recycle some unused space in London (the river) as a cycling lane. I often wished I could cycle under Islington along the canal tunnel, the only section which doesn't have a lane, then carry on to Old Street. Canals in London are popular cycle tracks for a reason ( long, no cars, flat, no juntions ).



While there are a number of ways I could see this being done cheaper  and still be a signficant attraction, I think what I most admire is that London architects are thinking actively about cyclists.
