Japan's Automated Underground Bike Storage

image credit: Danny Choo cc

Bicycles are a popular form of transportation in Japan. However, when parked they can take up a lot of public space that could otherwise be used by pedestrian foot traffic, small storefronts, etc.

Rather than take up valuable real estate above ground, they store them safely underground where they are protected from the weather and would-be thieves, while freeing up valuable public space.
