Copenhagen, Denmark, 2014
Cykelslangen, or Cycle Snake, is an elevated orange bike lane, wriggling its way over the harbor, seamlessly connecting the highway and the harbor bridge. Up until now the only possible options were to push the bikes up and down steep stairs, or to take ridiculous detours, in a narrow space haphazardly shared with pedestrians.
Looking at it now, the solution seems so obvious: an elevated two-way bike lane at the first-floor level, leaving pedestrians on the ground, with the added benefit of a less stressful atmosphere.
