Martin Angelov Proposes 'Kolelinia' High Wire Bicycle Path for Travel
Katie Cordrey — January 18, 2010 — Autos
Martin Angelov's ‘Kolelinia’ overhead bicycle transport system relies upon a half-pipe path for a bike’s wheels and a cable at the same height as the bike’s handles to provide safe and stable navigation. The safety cable connects to the bike’s handle with a hooking device with a carabineer receptacle for a backup safety harness line.
Angelov’s award-winning design has yet to be implemented and it evokes safety concerns, but the very idea of whizzing from place to place above the automobile congestion below holds a great deal of appeal for the 2-wheel commuter.
