Cycling Utopia

SkyCycle is Norman Foster’s ingenious vision for a more cycle-friendly, green capital! Images of this futuristic design show plans for weaving pathways hoisted above railways and viaducts. At three stories tall, these pathways will be accessed by ramps, although there still remains some questions to be answered about safety and how wind levels will be controlled at this height A great initiative and certainly line with Boris’ cycling revolution, if plans move ahead, rumours suggest that the first stretch may be built from Stratford to Liverpool Street  at a cost of £220 million. 

 

Watch the trailer for the design here.
