It looks great but I guess it has the same disadvantages as the car version: - Tends to be more expensive than regular car parks - Waiting time for each vehicle is actually quite long and just 2 or 3 people in front of you can mean a wait of 10 to 20 minutes. The bike version looks quicker but even so... Still, it's definitely better than a lot of bike parking currently available.

I mean that in the best way... what an amazing solution! I wonder how much it costs and what the physical requirements are to install one of these things... Seems to me it would be very easy to incorporate into new high-rise construction This is insane! I mean that in the best way… what an amazing solution!
