Still Waters Posted October 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Towns in the Netherlands are considering a proposal to heat cycle lanes to encourage greater use of bicycles in winter. The scheme proposes to use geo-thermal energy to prevent ice forming. The idea has been provisionally costed at 20-40,000 euros per kilometre (£26-52,000 per mile). But the man behind the proposal, Marcel Boerefijn, said there would be savings from fewer accidents, less salt needed to grit roads and reduced car expenses. http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-20041522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLOMBIE Posted October 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Wow, that is simply amazing. I do almost everything with my bike, and how much would I love heated bicycle lanes over here in Berlin. I admire the Dutch for their love of the bicycle, and that it is so well respected over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
