London Mayor Boris Johnson has come up with a bold solution to help drivers and cyclists coexist in peaceful harmony: elevated cycle lanes over the city's streets!
It's not as crazy as it sounds, and apparently Johnson has been in discussions with architects and Network Rail since May about using abandoned railway lines above ground in a network linking mainline railway stations across the capital.
Known as ''SkyCycle,'' the proposed cycle routes, which have yet to be mapped out, would operate on a pay-as-you-ride basis. Some have hinted at £1 per trip (approx. $1.60).
