This clip relates to my lower level stairs because skateboarding on a rail made me think about how I can move a motorcycle up a set of stairs smoothly.

Interesting Stairs For ...?

Interesting stairs, not for people but for cats. But still it can be a source of inspiration. And it's cute.
Also, the stairs were designed to suit the movement of cats, so it enhances its experience in the space and perhaps even its interaction with the owner. I think stairs for people should also do that, instead of just being a way to get from one level to another
