SkyCycle (proposed transport project)

SkyCycle was a proposed transport infrastructure project for London of a 219-kilometre (136 mi) network of elevated cycle paths above train tracks.

[3] The developers of the project estimated that the cycle paths would accommodate 400,000 riders during rush hour and shave 30 minutes off current travel time.

[6] The idea for the project originated in 2011 with Sam Martin, the director of Exterior Architecture, and his employee Oli Clark.

Clark had proposed a network of elevated cycle routes around Battersea Power Station for his student dissertation.

[2] The cycling charity CTC expressed concern over the wind exposure that riders would face when using SkyCycle, as well as the steepness of the ramps.
