SkyCycle + fresh air = bronchs

The Guardian told us that Paris is using car number plates, even registration numbers one day with odd ones the next.  It's to encourage alternating car sharing, but the idea hasn't gone down well.  Roll on SkyCycle as a way of reducing pollution by cycling.

Beijing is offering visitors bottles of fresh air.  Now you won't get far on one of those.  Cycling doesn't pollute.  Boris Johnson and David Cameron are supposed to be cycle friendly, so we should push the cause.

But there is a better solution ... how about combining the two ideas: fresh air + cycling?  

If you can get around a city without polluting the atmosphere then it will provide you with clean cycleways, the bronchs.  These would be like lungs pumping fresh air into the heart of the city.

It is an idea I've written about in Serpent Dove the first in the Buffalo Future series.


Here's to futuristic and realistic thinking,
