D: nice. But what do you do if one idiot stops?
Or starts swinging sideways, to miss the guide?

I like it.
But an elevated bicycle tube pathway over existing traffic can
1) use existing bikes
2) doesn't screw you if there is a stalled bike
3) can use said bikes where this is not.

Once off a Schweeb, yer on foot.
... Unless you have a very small folding bike.

Plus there is the fear-of-heights and being stuck hanging in mid-air.

Still, very neat.
