Can we just call it a Dweeb Cycle?

How much money is this going to end up costing?

I bike because it’s fun and a challenge. This will never fly. Most people who bike are also not that lazy, same with runners. And most bikers and runners would never use a system like that.

Great, a human habitrail. Can’t see it working outside the Pacific Northwest due to climate and temperature, but by all means spend a couple billion on it, we’ve got Obamabucks to burn.

“How much money is this going to end up costing?”

If it gets the bicyclists who refuse to obey traffic laws off the streets, it’ll probably be well worth it.

What if you've got a slowpoke in front of you? Tube rage?

I don’t want the world to be changes. I like it the way it is.

Yeah, I would really look forward to peddling to work in my wingtips in an oversized plastic soda bottle that may or may not have last been used by someone who bathes monthly.
