Plus it would mean removing parking from one side. or worse moving it out meaning peds would block it with refuse... Nah can't see it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13872#post-171143 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 12:42:15 +0000 Min 171143@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>:-D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13872#post-171141 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 12:32:04 +0000 chdot 171141@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>For bicycle diehards, the CycloCable may seem like a cop-out. But the system, which costs about as much as a bike lane to install, could encourage more cyclists on intimidating topography. A 2007 survey of Trondheim bike lift users found that 41 percent were biking more often because of the lift.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.citylab.com/commute/2014/04/bike-elevator-take-you-steep-hills/8774/" rel="nofollow">http://www.citylab.com/commute/2014/04/bike-elevator-take-you-steep-hills/8774/</a></p> <p>Well <a href="http://cyclingedinburgh.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/should-edinburgh-rethink/">there <em>was</em> a serious suggestion</a> for the previous version of the Trondheim 'lift' to be installed. </p>
