What a wonderful concept!

I fail to see what's so amazing about it. Simply driving the cars out of the place will make it a reality even now, there's no need of fancy looking bikes, especially ones that seem sooo uncomfortable. I mean honestly, look at it. I can cut my balls on it.

It's how it works with the buses is what caught my attention
as for the fancy graphics and the fancy saddle - дизайнерчета бе, ко да ги праиш

[AlphaDesigner]

И аз тва викам. Само, че първо тях ше накарам да пояздят това произведение на изкуството. Да видим дизайнерските мъде по-корави ли са що ли...

Designers - software
IT - hardware

eh... i guess the award is for impressive ideas not usability
first of all - bikes are not for everyone
women wearing skirts would never use a bike of any kind
let alone pregnant women
men having issues in the back and groin area wouldnt either
so that could easily reach half of the adult population
then you have weather concerns - snow and rain are no-go for bikes
and thats london so thats half of the year
so the usability of this "car-less" london concept ends

then you have the uncomfortable bike, the dangerous tree-like parkings
and the ridiculous "bus seats"...

add total cost for the introduction of such system and it becomes a preposterous nonsense...

Buses, hello buses! I've already said that.
Check the link, boys, Check the link, check, check ... read me ... bus ... over!

what about them? besides being ridiculously tall?
i remember how double deckers swayed on london streets - these will surely turn over

and didnt they ban double deckers after the terrorist attacks?

[plamenski]

They are for those that you think won't be able to ride the bikes!

No there are still double deckers as they are most suited for london's narrow streets.

Trains and trams! What about trains and trams? Weeeee.

Oh, and helicopters!

see? it failed
