In a response to a series of cyclist deaths in London over the past year, British starchitect Norman Foster just revealed SkyCycle, "a network of elevated pathways" above London's railways, so that inhabitants have a safe place to ride. His "cycling utopia" will be made up of 136 miles of bike lanes, which, in theory, could accommodate 12,000 cyclists an hour. Just add it to the ever-growing list of to-do's for Foster, whose firm is also building Apple's spaceship-like HQ in California and the world's first zero-carbon city in the U.A.E.
