shared bicycles, got that. Then click it back into any free rack and it is pulled up under the cover to keep it dry. Holland, right?

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"
Bikes: to many to list
I think it's great! except I can't tell how secure the bike is? (from a thief I mean) beside's that I don't think it's any uglier or stupid looking than any other bike rack/bike parking device. Matter of fact I think it look's really good with any modern area and just as good in any historical area too 
I don't think they are all "shared bikes" as the lady in the second video is obviously riding her own personal bike. My comment's on the astetics are just my humble opinion

Really like the canopy + off ground aspect, in snowy weather that would be great.
Could use some restyling though.

It might be workable at something like a bus stop where it could double as a shelter, but now your standing under dripping bikes.
And what to do when the rack is full?

The same thing you do when any other rack is full. Go elsewhere or something.
I think its great. Anything that could get people to think riding bikes is good idea is a good idea.
American cities all need these or something like them. The promotion of bike riding in America is lax hell.
America please wake up!!

The website doesn't mention whether or not it locks, and it looks like there's no effective way for you to use your own lock (since there's nothing to lock to, and the back wheel needs to roll). Smart cards can be hacked, but it looks like all you need to get a bike free is a ladder.
