Bicycle Monorails
The City Cycle Rail is a Recumbent bike personal rapid transit (PRT) system concept for New York, designed by Terreform ONE; Mitchell Joachim, Melanie Fessel, and Fred James.
Through Joachim's slightly enigmatic post, it can be inferred that the system envisions using linear rail suspended above a side walk. Hopefully the bearings proposed are anti-corrosive and self-lubricating if the proposal is for outdoor installations.
As well as recumbent bicycle-like motion, it looks like the Terreform ONE designers have included an enclosed, potentially electric carriage as an alternative.
