Didn't think they'd have a working prototype so soon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16680#post-226277 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 16:28:22 +0000 wingpig 226277@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeeek.

He instituted all sorts of stuff including, I think, a weekend day a month (not just an annual thing) with traffic banned from the city centre. Just brilliant. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16680#post-226260 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 14:56:20 +0000 ih 226260@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Somebody (Tulyar?) posted recently about mass transit and cycling infrastructure in Bogota, Columbia. It looked brilliant and so efficient. For goodness sake, if Bogota can do it, why can't Edinburgh (and other UK cities and towns)? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16680#post-226259 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 14:51:05 +0000 dougal 226259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I seem to recall something like this appearing in <em>Against A Dark Background</em>, but obviously on a much larger scale because that's how Iain Banks operated.</p> <p>Some kind of bus/train/service-station that you could drive up into while it was moving along the road and park inside it for a kip while the vehicle continued to travel through the night.</p> <p>EDIT: And obviously by this I mean, "I wonder if you'll be able to cycle straight up a ramp into the back?". </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16680#post-226238 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 13:50:03 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 226238@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-36961433">LOVE</a> this!</p> <p>Just soar over the traffic. </p>
