Heated bike path is never more sliding cyclists laugh at

University and Iran-home to Wageningen today we have a premiere: the first bicycle path in the world with underfloor heating, so that your steel steed no more cold tapes. An ideal precursor on the heated highway?

Probably not, because it costs money. Seriously money. On the other side: the repair of rutted frozen highway that will cost, and what to think of the tangible and intangible damage caused by frozen, slippery roads cause? Insurers could perhaps make a contribution if they see how many bruised look and ruitschade prevent.

Moreover, we can be nice the whole fleet of gritting out of the running (all that Rijkswaterstaat staff that these things are now serves can be pretty full-time new snelheidsbordjes places, work was done on that area..) and to another country verpatsen. Indonesia, for example. Oh no wait, there’s freezing never…

Anyway, as soon as the sun starts warming up the bike path. There is a tube system. The water in the tubes is heated. The two thin pipes going to the ground, 150 meters deep. Thus you have the possibility of the heat in the summer goes down in the winter to use again, a kind of storage room under the ground.
The innovative cycle path, of course, is completely carbon neutral, thanks to EasyPath. (via BNR)

This Is ideal in combination with a smart highway, or should we just wait a while on the faultless autonomous car?
