I just moved to Austin. I am super blessed to live 8 min bike ride from the heart of the city downtown. It's a nice city and I experience(d) the killer traffic jam every time I want to go somewhere which is outside of my bike-able range. I can't believe what it must be like to live north or south and have to be stuck in your car daily. Maybe feels like Elon Musk when he came up with the Hyperloop idea? I think the option with the elevated bike would work well, considering there are a lot of cyclists and "free bikes" (like in London you can get them for free for 30min with the membership card).
