Bike bridge in Netherlands incorporates green roof for a school
A new bridge in the Dutch city of Utrecht has been designed to combine with a roof garden over a local school. Dafne Schippers Bridge, designed by NEXT Architects, features a gently curving ramp which will take cyclists through some park and onto the roof of the school’s gym before crossing the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal.
Describing the creation, NEXT architects’ Marijn Schenk said: “In one fluid movement, the cycle route, park, and school are brought together to form a cohesive whole of infrastructure, architecture, and landscape.”

Inhabitat reports that the bridge, which is named after Dutch sprinter, Dafne Schippers, opened on April 3.
Meanwhile, in London, cyclists will encounter a very different bridge on Quietway 2.

Yep, I'm getting them too.
I'm not so sure. Something seems to turn perfectly reasonable humans into raving lunatics when they get behind the steering wheel.
