Boris & Dave + SkyCycle & railways

The brilliance of the SkyCycle insight is that rail and cycle traffic meet similar demands: speed without interruption between population and city centres.

For our country's health [and for their political legacy] Boris needs to sanction SkyCycle, and Dave support a countrywide equivalent which might be called ByCycle [a cycle bypass].

In congested areas these cycleways would be above railways but where there is space they could run beside them. 

Such an idea is fulfilled in Serpent Dove by a cycleway from Cambridge to Lakenheath via Ely. It's where Io and George meet.

Dave or Boris being bold with SkyCycle

Boris is not keen on heights after the zip famously failed on his wire!?

But that is no excuse for timidity towards SkyCycle which aims to instal proper cycling infrastructure above London's railway lines. These would be equivalent to the 1960s' vision of building motorways for cars, but Boris talks of tinkering with cycle lanes alongside existing traffic.

Perhaps Dave could do better outside London and create a cycling legacy with heathy people and healthy environment.

We need some leadership on cycling infrastructure from cycling leaders.
