Crazy Japanese bicycle parking robot
I don't know if people have seen this Youtube clip:

I can't imagine such a device being built in the US.

They've had similar systems for cars for a while in Europe and Asia. They've just recently started showing up in the States -- NYC I believe. Unfortunately, not enough bikes on the road, at least where I live, for this to be necessary. We have a hard enough time finding proper bike racks.

Interesting: Yes in Japan they have had the auto parking system for a long time land is at a premium so they utilize space very well no door dings either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB1N68KYZ7E&feature=related

that is sssoooo cool!
I wish we had a couple of those around town where I live. There are more bike thieves than bicyclists it seems.
