Germany's Plans for 100 km Bike Autobahn (Bikebahn?)

In a move toward sustainability, officials have endorsed plans on a bicycle highway that would connect 10 cities and four universities by way of over 100 kilometers of road, according to the Agence France-Presse. For now, cyclists can enjoy the first five kilometers of the bicycle autobahn, which would serve almost 2 million people when completed. 

In addition to making travel more efficient for cyclists, who will no longer have to navigate traffic and busy intersections, the bicycle autobahn will make it infinitely safer. The routes are smooth and even, intersect roads with over- and underpasses, are well lit for nighttime riders and will be cleared of snow.
