We used this trick in painting class. The teacher would turn our canvas over and force us to look at the composition. Handy method.

not everyone is the perfect cyclist, people will fall off

This post illustrates my problem with more accessible and powerful digital design solutions:

Here we have very technical and comprehensive diagrams (check original post for more), and a very realistic looking rendering of a concept that this “designer” has never even thought of building in any sort of real-life form.

I once did a really detailed drawing of a jet-pack that also serves frozen yogurt, is that industrial design?

While I’ve never ridden a mountain bike on rutted roads, this CONCEPT is quite different. A bike moving on an overhead steel gutter with a safety line clipped to a handlebar (did you miss this part?) would be considerably more stable.

All very good questions Matt., thanks for the comment.

- I’d imagine you could install lights much like regular intersections.
- How do you change direction on a one-way street?
- I’m pretty sure birds would fly off when they see a bike rolling towards them.

My question is a bit more obvious: how do you board the damn thing in the first place??

At the end of the day, it’s just a concept, and as such does not have to be completely figured out, it just needs to generate interest, and it certainly does that…

What happens at intersections?

And how do you change direction?

and what happens if someone stops, can you over-take people?

Does anyone supervise the boarding process?

will birds clog it up?

i could go on…

[...] When I first read about the Kolelinia project, I thought it was one of those awesome-but-fake city planning suggestions. But no! These midair bike lanes made of steel cables are not a joke; it’s a serious plan designed by Martin Angelov, an architect working on experimental projects for the urban environment. While I’m not entirely convinced that bicyclists will flock to balancing on wires suspended above congested traffic, it’s an incredible feat to have the imagination and technical aptitude to try to make this happen.

This is really foolish– have you ever ridden a mountain bike Inc rutted roads? The tires do everything they can to break out of the ruts– which means alot of people dangling from s
safety wires above, and bikes plunging on to people
