Boris Johnson : '' Shweeb is next ''

No pollution is the top priority says the Boris Cycle Champaign Founder.

Shweeb will be the popular transportation for busy cities in a few decades time. Not only its safe to ride without the HGVs, you can also enjoy the scenery around the city.

No, it's more like an unfunky kind of ufo.

Traffic jam.

You do not want to be stuck in that around Soho.

Don't even have to walk, don't even have to drive
Just slide, glide, slippity-slide

Sorry Ed, I'm not getting that reference. Is it Steve Winwood? Hendrix, No?

Supporting poles, Y U no reach ground?

but even so...if this ever got off the ground, imagine the races we could have. shweeb time trials ftw!

I can categorically state that this will never happen.

Ridiculous.

Hmmm. Mass transportation system that takes 3 people at a time in a city of 7,500,000. Idiots.

you mean a bit like cars?

With the added bonus of trapping you 30 odd feet above ground.

you mean a bit like cars?

Not really.
It's a fixed route with prescribed stops. It's the tube, but for 3 people at a time.

Mind you, cars don't work that brilliantly in London, do they?

Cars would work fine in London if the existing road network was reverted to a less restrictive state.
Even in the current situation, there are still many journeys you can make by car which do not have a viable public transport alternative.

TFL and the borough councils are fucking London up, bit by bit it's becoming a shameful embarrassment.

So apart from the fact cars are an entirely unsustainable form of transport that's all fine then. Don't many of those restrictions benefit cyclists?

I like the way that route in the picture has a double chicane just after the corner - just like the ones we used to set up on scalectrix.
