Kings Cross to Victoria in 15 pollution free mins

Getting across London can be tediously slow.  Either we burrow underground and melt in the humid heat, or we breath in particulates as we walk, cycle, or drive.  Imagine a practical alternative of reducing pollution by cycling inside fresh air bronchs.

It would only take 15 minutes of fascinating views to travel from Kings Cross to Victoria.  The passage is highlighted in Brighton Evening which is a chapter from a futuristic but realistic novel.

Virtually every week we hear news of a major city having to take drastic action to reduce suffocating pollution.  If we fly into many cities we are greeted by a whimper of yellow haze.  Imagine clean cycleways (not coloured tracks) designed specifically for uninterrupted travel in clean air.  They would not be heavy structures and could easily plumb into existing infrastructure.

All it needs is the imagination, and political action.  We lack both, but spread the idea!

Here's to true cycling liberation,
