the bike tree
YouTube - A New Way to Park Bicycles.. Hang them in a Bike Tree
(click for nifty demo movie)
I don’t know where these are installed, maybe only in Geneva. This would be a super cool thing to have these around here, wonder how much they would cost for a monthly bike storage card. I wonder too if there’s enough solar power to keep them running here year ’round. Looks like an excellent solution for places like train terminals and central bike stations near downtowns.

These look great–I’ve been looking for some sort of bike-rack idea for a demo project at my office building. (Something interesting enough to attract some attention…). I wonder if we could afford a bike tree.

Check out Snakebite’s blog. He talked about this in the past month or so and had a link to a video showing how it worked. It is way cool.
