I'm thinking of roads connecting the three land strips, one at the equator 
(between the two downtown squares) and the other two in the suburbs. The 
roads are traveled mostly by bicycle, being the most efficient means of 
locomotion.

One end of the cylinder is north and the other is south. Are the cylinders 
connected north-to-north or south-to-south? How do you go from one cylinder 
to the other?

The outer ring is used for agriculture. Anyone have ideas about that? What 
about fish? I haven't seen anything resembling an ocean.
