My concern is that it only takes standard bicycles. Many types of bicycles won't fit. In a fully-fledged bicycle culture, non-standard bicycles can be common.
that would be so awesome to have in the US, maybe it would encourage more people to ride bikes and save the environment! oh yeah it's also more healthy
Wait, let me get this straight - a machine that sucks huge amounts of energy, occupies approximately the same amount of space as a bike rack capable of storing 16 bikes, and if anything goes wrong with it (power outage, earthquake, etc) all 144 bikes are trashed is "efficient"? Welcome to Japan, here's your ridiculously expensive pseudo-efficient method that duplicates people locking their bikes to a rack.
@zymyrgy Maybe that's why you aren't Japanese. Funny how you mentioned all the negatives you saw and none of the actual positives. 1. who the hell would ride a bike in a power outage? 2.Wouldn't the bikes be destroyed in a earthquake regardless if underground or on a bike rack? 3. You obviously don't know how many bikes there are in Japan. I don't either, but they're more bikes than cars. By your logic, there shouldn't be parking lots for cars in the US, just everybody park on the street,2save $
@MrTizzzzzle I don't like parking garages in the United States - I -would- rather people park on the street - it would reduce congestion. Fewer places to park - fewer cars driving. I had a garage bike get destroyed in an earthquake (Left Coast = EQ) and I had a bike on the street. The bike on the street was fine - the bike in the garage was destroyed because stuff got jumbled about. Having been to Japan, and having done Amsterdam, this still looks totally inefficient to me. Nice assumptions.
@zymyrgy lol you're a funny one. I enjoyed reading your reply from my phone in class. My assumptions are only as good as your all knowing, condescending Japan comment. Regardless of your small fears and experience with a earthquake and your trip to Japan, doesn't mean that every bike on the street during a earthquake will be unaffected. Just look at Japan now. On the street or underground, your bike is getting mashed. You don't live in Japan. Keep yo fear for yo bike in America lol.
I have lived in Japan for 3 years before. While that country is much smaller than the United States in terms of land area, these people (Japanese) are the most efficient people on the planet. And imagine if they were in charge of United States, it would be virtually impossible to defeat them in every respect.
While this looks very cool, it's probably super expensive to build and maintain. Probably one of the reasons why Japan is in such high dept right now.
@DDRmastaa Depends on if you mean by Public dept or External dept. For public dept, Japan is the second highest on the list (owes 189% GDP), with the US 47th on the list (owes 52% GDP). But by external dept, we are first on the list (owes 94% GDP) and Japan in ninth (owes 42% GDP).
However if I were to compare the two and mix both public and external together, Japan is actually in more dept than us. With Japan overall owing 231% and the US 146% GDP. That is, if that is how it actually works.
@tubekew I'm sure in the long run this would promote biking. Instead, the use of cars which incur a social cost through pollution, traffic, and other things. Also, since land is really scarce in Japan its much cost efficient to build vertically to use land more efficiently.
@alexHG123 While I have to agree with you on Japan having very little land (just go to Google Maps and look at Japan, all the cities seem connected and covers the majority of the nation, leaving very little forest) and that biking is more environmentally friendly. But I don't think having a personal underground elevator for just their bicycles is going to help the environment or in their nation's growing dept, just what I think though.
@alexHG123 I doubt that the reason why they made it vertical isn't because land is "scarce" it just takes less room and is faster then make horizontally.
yeaahh , too bad europeans too greedy to build these for the populations haha , i got a really nice bike n its pretty dangerous to cycle around places n locking it , they could just break my lock or take my wheels . . haha pretty lame . .
Thats really cool! When I first watched it, I thought it could only store one bike xD But it can store 140 underground! We should have those in the US
man i really want to visit japan i mean all the new advanced technology its awsome but wat i dont get is if they have so much equipment y dont they just take a plane over here and delivery that stuff to the usa i mean they use boats instead of a plane.......... i hate that
man you make me want to lean the language, and customs so badly. I so want to visit....and why can't we in America get awesome stiff like this? (Though i can see that most Americans don't use bikes to travel much.)
@KzrrainzYes I'll have to remember that next time I'm cut into pieces. I mean, at least then I could sue for my family's sake, but it would be horrible for them to see me in bloody chunks.
WOW O.o Toyko clean place , unlike european's lol id love to cycle everyday in tokyo to explore the places and park your bike safely , that ppl wont be coming to steal them
