Kolelinia - The Skybike.


image by Martin Angelov

Kolelinia is a concept for riding our own bikes on a new type of bicycle-lanes, based on steel wires. Is it possible to achieve a completely new level of transportation with minimum resources?

This idea doesn’t isolate the bike stream from the streets, this only makes the connection for impossible zones between existing bike-lanes. Could be a bridge type, a longer transportation line or a special designed and independent touristic line. Of course it is too early to talk about mass use.

..certainly don't drop faith. Very original and outstanding concept. Great thinking.

U can drop anything also riding on ground and it is even more dangerous ;) I like the idea - not many people in Sofia Municipality think about bikes (let's say NONE).

Love the idea. It definitely needs a bit of work though in terms of liability aspect, dropping things, etc. But this has a lot of potential, both on the ground and in the air.
