I’m American, so i assumed the space between the green and white line was the bike lane for a bit.
I love this idea.
What if cities implemented special routes that are cycle only routes.
They could make small roads that lead to popular parts of the city easily and safely bikeable.
God! I wish my roads were not so dangerous.
This is the case in Finland as well
It takes so little effort to just create 2-3 routes going along each cardinal direction of a city if you compare it to normal road infrastructure, but it massively improves the cycling experience.
Netherlands does it all the time. Bikes are the main transport there.
It’s nice. But it’s pretty much the only cycling path in Mannheim that really deserves the name. And it’s only about two kilometres. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a start. But we need way way more like that and that isn’t happening right now.
Danke, ich dachte schon ich müsse meine Meinung von Mannheim ändern /s
Irgendwo muss man anfangen und wenn’s erstmal eine Stadt macht werden andere viel leichter folgen.
Ahhh I want to ride on this right now, looks so relaxing. Thanks for sharing OP
I cycled through here earlier this year! Beautiful part of the world. Are you going along the EV15?
That’s an impressive culvert.
Yeah they made a boring piece of infrastructure pleasing to look at.

Hahaha this is the kind of idea that halts all development so some stupid comittee can discuss names for years. Who cares what the name is? Highway is an okay name

Is it really? I don’t recall the cycleways being dominated by young white men.
Not that I always feel safe on ‘cycle superhighways’ which in many places are just a glorified bike lane tacked on as a complete afterthought, weaving on and off pavements and around bus stops, lacking proper signs to know where it continues after an intersection or just randomly finishing and leaving you stuck in the midst of cars.
@matti it’s what TFL reports, as far as I know, I don’t have first hand experience. Well, I have been in London and what I recall is people going seriously fast on the main bike paths (I think the super highways). Much faster than elsewhere I’ve been.
