My home town built a bicycle-only bridge with a road surface that's heated to slightly above freezing in winter.
It's the shortest connection between 2 major districts:
There's also a bicycle tunnel under the old town:
There's a truck on the bicycle bridge?
Yeah, as soon as the bridge was finished, a truck tried to drive over it to take a shortcut.
They had to fix the bridge, fined the driver, and I believe built a barrier.
Check out Amsterdam and Copenhagen!
I currently live in Malmö, Sweden which is not as known for this, but is one of the best cities for biking in Sweden.
I have lived in smaller towns in Sweden with great bike infra as well.
It is not unusual, it all depends on the city planners to not blow 100% of the budget on cars.
I was just in Copenhagen and went over to Malmo for a day. Just want to say that you live in a great city. Loved my time there and the people.
Stateside the big one I know is the Minneapolis greenway, which is a proper road reserved just for bikes and occasional buses. There are a handful of rails to trails projects all over, but I don't think they're quite what you have in mind
A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let's explore the bad world of Cars!
