elevated covered bike lanes
BISU: bike super hwy! elevated, covered bike routes that connect all municipalities and are 4-lanes wide and lit up at night. designed by architects from europe, or frank gehry. will set the standard for the car-less phase of human evolution... sponsored by companies that create contemporary self-powered vehicles suitable for the Bicycle Super Highway.
An interesting concept, but extremely expensive, challenging to integrate into neighbourhoods and difficult to ensure flexibility to serve as broad a range of users as possible.

More segregated Bike lanes downtown - Burrard Bridge is a great example.

This is a very good idea! A variation on this theme I found was the Shweeb, a bicycle powered mono-rail that is also elevated.
Check out the video.
