	Slidewalk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A slidewalk is a fictional moving sidewalk structurally sound enough to support buildings and large populations of travelers.
		Isaac Asimov, in his Robot Series, imagined slidewalks as the potential method of transportation of practically the entire urban population on Earth, with expressways moving at up to 60 km per hour equipped with seating accommodations for long distance travel, and with slower subsidiary tracks branching off from the main lines.
		Slidewalks figure prominantly in the animated series, "The Jetsons."

	The Path of Least Time
		I started cruising the slidewalks at about 2:30pm when I was convinced, with the help of your emails, that there appeared to be at least two possible Mirandas, both of whom were heading for the mall.
		I only saw her for a second as we sped past each other on the slidewalks, but it was enough to tell me she definitely wasn't Miranda - this woman was pregnant.
		I took a high speed slidewalk to the bridge, but five minutes later another beep told me what I knew had happened - she was on the bridge, heading south over the river, out of Stone Mills and out of my reach.

		It was raining in downtown Washington, of course, but not with any real conviction: a limpid, bored rain, the kind of rain that comes between major showers when the sky is having a rest and can't be bothered working at the entire rain business.
		I might have sought shelter, but the overhangs that still covered the rusted slidewalks were shadowy places, haunts of drunks and beggars, and I found the damp less foul than the prospect of company.
		Washington was quiet, except for the drip of the rain and the soft sounds of a scuffle somewhere in the shadows - as quiet as the dead.

		This confusing warren of concrete chasms and steel latticework is connected by cable cars, slidewalks, and escalators wide enough to take an entire rockettes' chorus line with room to spare.

		Or they wander around helpless, locked in their own cognitive or sensory delusions, chased out of each neighbourhood they frequent by the locals who don't like the riffraff making the place look cheap, ending up in ghettos and shantytowns and sewerslums.
