Reference numeral 6 is a side wall, and 7 is a ceiling, both of which are made of a material such as polycarbonate which has a good light-collecting property, has a low resistance to blowing air, and is excellent in airtightness. An intermediate partition wall 8 separates the bicycle passage 3. That is, a bicycle passage having a passage in which the bicycle runs in the opposite direction is formed.

Depending on the situation where the width of the sidewalk 2 is restricted, the intermediate partition wall 8 may not be provided and the passage may be a one-way passage. A system that installs 3 is also conceivable. Further, the side wall 6, the ceiling 7, and the partition wall 8 may be made of a normal material such as a plate material and provided with a lighting window. It should be noted that the bicycle passage 3 is provided with a lighting facility for traveling at night.

Although not shown, ventilation equipment such as an air conditioner and a blower is installed on the rear end side of the bicycle passage 3 and blows air into each passage toward the traveling direction of the bicycle. In addition, an auxiliary blower is installed at an appropriate place on the ceiling 7 so that the auxiliary blower can be blown to the important points of the bicycle passage 3. In addition, in the bicycle passage 3 which is separated and has a passage through which the bicycle travels in the opposite direction,
It is also possible to circulate the flow of blast air.

FIG. 2 is a view exemplifying a schematic plane of the bicycle passage 3. For example, 10 is a zone for entering and leaving the bicycle passage 3, and 11 is a down curve zone. In such an entrance / exit zone 10 and a downward curve zone 11, it is dangerous that the wind speed is high, so the passage cross section is enlarged in order to reduce the wind speed. 12 is a doorway. Doorway 12
The door is equipped with an opening / closing door and an air curtain to prevent air from escaping outside.

Numeral 13 is an uphill zone in which the passage cross section is enlarged to increase the wind speed. The wind speed in the bicycle passage 3 is, for example, 10 km / hour in the normal traveling zone, 5 km / hour in the down curve zone 11 and the entry / exit zone 10, and 20 in the uphill zone 13.
It is set to about km / hour. If it cannot be expanded in the width direction due to road conditions, it is expanded in the height direction.

The air blown into the bicycle passage 3 is cooled and heated before being blown. Reference numeral 9 is a solar power generation unit mounted on the ceiling 7, and the electromotive force is used as power supply to lighting equipment and a blower inside the bicycle passage 3.
The arrows in the figure indicate the blowing of air into the passage and the auxiliary blowing.

The structure of the present invention is as described above. Next, the traveling of the bicycle will be described. First, the bicycle having entered the entrance / exit zone 10 through the entrance / exit 12 can travel in the bicycle passage 3 while receiving a tail wind. While looking at the outside scene through the transparent side wall 6, it is possible to travel comfortably at high speed and long distance without fear of contact with a car or a pedestrian. Then, when you reach the vicinity of the destination, the nearest exit / entry zone 10
Exit the bicycle path 3 and get off on the sidewalk 2.

Although not shown, an entrance is provided on the side of the entrance 12 and is connected to the side of the sidewalk 2 by a rampway, a simple lift or the like. Further, in the above example, the bicycle passage 3 is installed above the sidewalk 2, but if the road is wide enough and the bicycle lane can be installed together with the roadway 1, the bicycle lane can be installed in the bicycle lane. The passage 3 may be installed. Further, the bicycle passage 3 can be installed by being attached to the girders or legs of the viaduct in the city.
