Bicycle Freeways...
If bicycles had access to the 10 freeway, it may be possible to get from downtown Santa Monica to downtown Los Angeles ( about 11 miles) in about 8 minutes. Yes folks, that is correct, EIGHT minutes. As a matter of fact it could be possible to go so fast on the 10 freeway, that a bicylists could get a ticket for going over the speed limit.
Here is a video of what it might look like from inside a velomobile powered only by your legs. This video is taken on about twelve(12) mile portion of a highway near a town called Battle Mountain, in September 2006. The bicyclist is Freddy Markham. And he clocked himself at 78 miles per hour.

I can't believe how much of this I just wasn't aware of. Thank you for bringing more information to this topic for me. I'm truly grateful and really impressed.
