By Interesting Engineering
Germany is building a car-free bicycle highway that will stretch to 62 miles, once completed.
When finished, it will connect 10 German cities, including Duisburg, Bochum, and Hamm, as well as four universities. It has been built to help minimize car pollution and is projected to get 50,000 cars off the road everyday, once completed.

The bicycle highway looks like a traditional road, with passing lanes, overpasses, underpasses for crossroads, and even streetlights. The great benefit to riders, however, is that they won't have to worry about buses, cars and trucks tailgating them or coming up from behind.
