The Death And Rebirth Of Bike Highways - Cheddar Explains

A new summary about bike highways and a short history of the elevated cycles. 

हवा में लटकती हुई साइकिल | We Made Hanging In Air Bicycle | Crazy Idea

This experiment shows to me, at the limit,  how thin you could go with an elevated cycle 'wire'. This cycle cable system has been proposed before. This one is clearly used for one one rider,  a real system would have to be strong enough for back to back bikes. IF you look the bike is riding on a rope. 

While this is good as an engineering test and shows off how unobtrusive an elevated system could be it looses the advantage of previous 'sky only' systems and combination systems. A sky only system could hang from one cable ( but never cover the last 100 yards to work ). A combination system would also you to cycle to and from the station. 

Still nice to see people still being enthusiastic.

How to Build a City Around Bikes, Fast

Bloomberg Quick takes gives nice overview of cycling. 

A good example is Seville who had the smart idea of building integrated network rather than isolated fragments of quality road. 

You will notice it sots them $20 million to make 80km of cycle network getting 77,00 people per day. Over $900 million for 18Km of  metro track for 44,000 people per day. Although I will point out this typically requires removing space from cars- who start to object.
