Heated cycle paths?? Longest in Europe opens in Netherlands
Europe's longest heated cycle path has been built between two dutch cities, kept toasty from energy off of a local paper plant...
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/10/europes-longest-heated-cyc...
What does everyone think of this, will they ever happen in the UK? Although guess we need some actual cycle paths first.
When I saw 'world's longest' I'll be honest I was a bit surprised that's only 1.7km still... wouldn't have minded my whole Bristol to Bath route warmed up for this year's one too many snow days!

That little car is great - just what's needed for most single occupant journeys (maybe not so much in the rain).

So I don't drink, because drinking is defined as drinking water, not water mixed with ethanol.

We've got very short ones in Cambridge- the ramps of the Carter bridge across the railway station.
Remember, they're not "warm"- just enough to prevent ice forming and snow sticking
Blimey they built that quick they were only asking for tenders in the feature on the front page of this site yesterday.
Just a maintained highway free of motorists trying to kill you would suffice, whilst this might be fine so that it's not frostsed over in winter it's a bit of a vanity project. Get shot of most of the motors, as I always say, give back the 4.8m on one side to ensure people of all abilities can ride on it would work for most.
If there are more direct lanes that can be used great but often the lanes in urban NL are indirect and meander simply because they can avoid roads, I've seen quite a few cycle routes that are much further than going by road. I don't want to adopt that but completely turn on its head the primary use of the infra we have.
