We already brought you a list of ten pieces of cycling infrastructure that makes lives easier for riders all over the globe. You can read it HERE<\/a>. But as the love and usage of cycling grows stronger in the urban environment, the cities have to abide and some of them do it better than others. Let\u2019s check another dose of ingenious structural solutions.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

1) Maastunnel, Rotterdam, The Netherlands<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The tunnel itself is nothing new because it was constructed between 1937 and 1942, therefore finished during the Nazi occupation, but it\u2019s kept in an excellent condition to this day since around 4,500 cyclists pass through here daily. Located 60 feet below sea level and running under the Nieuwe Maas river, this over half a kilometre-long tunnel can be reached by escalators and runs next to a completely separated tunnel for cars.<\/p>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

2) Sands Street cycle track, New York City, United States<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This two-way raised, one-third of a mile-long separated cycle track runs through the middle of Sands Street, unlike most cycle paths that are located on the roads\u2019 sides. It all started when Noah Budnick, an advocate with New York\u2019s non-profit Transportation Alternatives, crashed his bike on this street in 2005, which prompted the city to create this safe cycling haven.<\/p>\n
