This heading has the feeling of a "Kevin Rudd" policy announcement to it: Too-great to pass the fine print test.

What would Bob Katter propose? We could all have a stable in the back yard and ride a horse to work; it all seems so stupid.

No...What is infinitely more practical and achievable is the promotion of motorcycle lanes using existing infrastructure.

An interesting if extremely expensive idea.
Our town has lots of purpose built bike-ways as does Brisbane.
More bike-ways could be AFFORDABLY built, if we started registering bikes and licensing riders.
Rules are for fools, and there seems to be too many of them relying on peddle power. Which they seem to want to ride as if they were Mack trucks and they, kings of the road!
That said, I'm in favor of solving commuter gridlock, with better faster urban rail, which could even have a couple of peak hour rail cars reserved to carry bikes.
This would allow bikers to commute relying exclusively public transport and E-bikes.
Failing that, fold-a-way bikes, might even be able to be stored in overhead luggage racks?
With more bikes in use by able bodied law abiding licensed riders, we might even be able to create car free inner city zones.
Rhrosty.

I think it is a wonderful idea. Just what we need now we have run out of any other ways to waste money.

Yep a wonderful ideas, provided the cyclists pay for the total cost of the fool thing, & then are banned from using the roads, which I & other motorists have paid for 100 times over with our fuel tax.

I wonder how many after dinner ports it takes for someone to come up with an idea like this?

Sky Cycle,
Could be useful in some locations. However, before that Australia needs new road safety policies for all road users. Planners infatuation with car use, has created road congestion and a dangerous road system for children, the elderly and those without a car.

About 1.3 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes worldwide. Nearly half of them are “vulnerable road users”: pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.

I argue that an Australian urban planning model that constrains national road death rates per 100,000 population, in four European countries. Indeed the data from 1970 to 2012 suggest that bicycling has become much safer, in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark, because of their innovative bicycle planning and intermodal bicycle/public transport planning practices. These countries have bicycle friendly road networks because they integrate health, active transport and environment policies. They prove thats speed limits of 30 km/hr on residential streets and 50 km per hour speed limits on all urban roads with bike lanes and are essential in Australia. Once that is done it will possible to see practical applications for Sky Cycle

With planning like that PEST, no wonder they are all going broke.

I think we should give them balloons without sandbags, problem solved ! Now there's the sky part solved.

Hasbeen I have been advocating this for 20 and Dutch 30 years ago. It has absolute nothing with the GFC 2 years ago in Europe

If only VicRoads had sent their engineers to the Netherlands 20 years ago to see the many options for using rail line and road reserves, access paths along canals and rivers, and parks to create continuous bikeways. If only they had ridden bicycles along residential streets, which have a 30 km/hour speed limit and bike lanes on roads with a mandatory 50 km/hour speed limit, they would have made small land acquisitions to create short cuts in the residential street network to link up other bicycle routes. They would have seen freeways which are designed to be integrated with the national bikeway network; indeed, freeways and major road bridges with separate bikeways and walkways.
Think about it: when medical researchers find better ways of keeping people alive they learn from other countries by going there to see and study. What do Australian road engineers do? They sit on their butts driving motor vehicles and fail to learn about world’s best practice driving  What a pleasure it would have been for VicRoads’ engineers to experience world’s best practice by riding bikes in the Netherlands in and around their delightful cities. And at night enjoying themselves by drinking in the many boutique Dutch and Belgium beers in car-free city squares surrounded by ancient buildings.
VicRoads never had a commitment to create a Dutch style in safety issues and world’s best safety practice as in the Netherlands

Hasbeen the Dutch have been doing this for 30 years nothing to do with Europes GFC.
