bike parking system sucks your ride into the depths of the earth

Giken SeisakushoBikes are great and all, but as more people start cycling instead of driving, it doesn’t necessarily make sense to create new slabs of empty asphalt on which to park bikes. A better solution is Japan’s Eco Cycle Anti-Seismic Underground Bicycle Park. Instead of paving large swaths of the ground, it stores your ride vertically underneath it.
