Considering it's a giant ring, with a giant pole running through it, that was not the comment I was expecting from you.

Very cool engineering though. In NEPA we don't even have a shoulder on our pot-holed roads let alone a bike lane or a fancy ring. Nowhere to hide from the gas trucks unless you go cross country.

Must be away from the more densely populated areas, because the pictures I've seen of their bike traffic would overwhelm that ring at rush hours.

Looking at the location, yes it's a little away from the crush. But that makes me wonder about the trouble and expense, away from where it will impress rich people. Oh, that's it. The rich people in their limos can buzz right through there without bikes in the way.
