The cable car that you pedal by hand

Through the mountains of Slovenia, there are manual cable cars: some historic, some more modern. There aren't many left. I was able to try one, and to talk to the person who still maintains it.
Just to be clear, there are a few of these in other places in the world, too. There's at least a couple in North America, one in Germany, and one in Turkey! (Or at least, I think they still exist.) But the video of the Cicka got me to beautiful Slovenia, and the story that I found there was worth the trip.

Great to see you in Slovenia Tom. As a local, I was not aware of this one. But there plenty of other unusual sites, with a story of their own, a select few: Bolnica Franja (hidden resistance hospital from WW2 in a gorge), Mali Plac (miniscule Nature Reserve in Ljubljana Marsh next to a highway), Aljažev stolp (storm shelter on top of highest mountain Triglav), Libeliče (village that refused the WWI demarcation line and "ceded" itself).

[@antoneichstadt7525]

I can't really believe Tom Scott visited that random cable bridge me and my family saw while travelling 2 years ago. We didn't think much of it.. but we definitely played around a little, it's actually inclined slightly so that it's hard to finish the trip in one direction, but it almost goes hands-free in the other.

You can notice the effects of the incline if you watch the end scene where Tom moves it back.

[@isaacfortner]

There are a lot of cable cars like this over rivers in the Pacific Northwest. They aren't publically usable, but were/are used by governement agencies for measuring river depths and flow rates seasonally or after major storms. Most of them are only accessible from one side of the river though, and the cables are angled such that they naturally slowly move out across the river via gravity (like a very slow zipline), then a winch pulls them back to the anchor station. I think most of these measurements can be done remotely with sensors in the rivers now, but you still see a lot of the cable cars around, and quite a few are maintained in working condition.

I am trying to think of the pros for something like this VS. a rope bridge with a wooden deck. Wind load - the cable car has a lower cross section and is made of heavy materials. It is less likely to stress the bridge supports year round. A wooden bridge must handle wind loads even when nobody is using it. thats all I got. Anyone else have any ideas?

[@theinacircleoftheancientpu492]

Rot, when a wooden deck starts to rot, it may or may not be safe. I know rust is similar, but wood needs changing every 2-5 years I think, and no amount of paint will change that. Metal, if properly maintained, could last 10-50 years. Ballpark figures off the top of my head.

[@Dave_Sisson]

Three wire bridges can be found in Tasmania and southern New Zealand. You stand on a thick wire and put your hands on wires to your side to balance yourself. It is slow to walk across them, but they are safe and don't get washed away when a stream is in flood.
