I’m American, so i assumed the space between the green and white line was the bike lane for a bit.

I love this idea.

What if cities implemented special routes that are cycle only routes.

They could make small roads that lead to popular parts of the city easily and safely bikeable.

God! I wish my roads were not so dangerous.

Netherlands does it all the time. Bikes are the main transport there.

This is the case in Finland as well

It takes so little effort to just create 2-3 routes going along each cardinal direction of a city if you compare it to normal road infrastructure, but it massively improves the cycling experience.

So that's what Mannheim Steamroller's been up to.

That's an impressive culvert.

Yeah they made a boring piece of infrastructure pleasing to look at.

Ahhh I want to ride on this right now, looks so relaxing. Thanks for sharing OP

It's nice. But it's pretty much the only cycling path in Mannheim that really deserves the name. And it's only about two kilometres. Don't get me wrong, it's a start. But we need way way more like that and that isn't happening right now.

Danke, ich dachte schon ich müsse meine Meinung von Mannheim ändern /s

Irgendwo muss man anfangen und wenn's erstmal eine Stadt macht werden andere viel leichter folgen.

I cycled through here earlier this year! Beautiful part of the world. Are you going along the EV15?

[–] AchtungDrempels@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Were you on some kind of bicycle tour?

[–] IHateReddit@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'd love to take such a big route one day, but I just take this cycleway sometimes because I live near Mannheim.
