Pretty cool. Looks like a handy system for bicycle commuters, but there's one thing the video left unanswered:

When he put his bike in, he just pushed a button and it put the bike away. When he got it out, he swiped a card and the machine took off to get his specific bike. So how did the machine associate his individual bike with his individual card?

Upon registration a sensor is fixed on the bicycle. You can see more pictures on my blog.

I wish we had these in Britain. We are not struggling for space that much, but bikes don't last long when they're in view of the public!
