haha wow thats pretty neat-O :P No matter how ridiculous you think it is, even if its just for a bicycle, its Japan we're talking about. And they'll invent just about anything to conserve space

Reminds me of the crazy rotating car garage in Tokyo Drift.

I saw that on... hmmm... Gizmodo I think. Incredible! Some funny comment I read: "My bike took the red pill". :P Also, let me add these two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tsJE93O-0Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGZrhKpNSvg offtopic: Danny, thanks for visiting my blog! Quite a surprise... I didn't finish it yet, was just testing... :D Didn't even publish it on search engines yet... XD

Another LOL! The matrix is one step closer to us now it seems.. ^^

Wow, that's so cool... I bet they'll be making one for the pets too~ Imagine the giant robotic arm getting a hold of your dog and pulling it underground. That would be so coo-... Disturbing actually...

That's really cool. I don't understand much japanese yet, so I couldn't understand the reporter. But, how do they keep track of who's bike belongs to who??

Japanese innovation is always a trip, coolness. Unfortunately, Canada has so much space we still build parking garages for cars, and have bikeracks for bikes. We will never see anythin like that here.
(ID #172557) Posted on 2008/04/20 05:12
That's awesome, they are really using every inch of space they can get.
(ID #172559) Posted on 2008/04/20 06:10
Thats brilliant, as always Japan is the land of innovation, just one more reason why i love the place :D

i would like to copy their concept - not for bicycles, but to keep my eroge materials underground.

Wow!! Thats totally awesome.. I wish Singapore would take that invention here.. Seems that some places have problems with parking spaces for bicycles.. Cool invention BTW!!

Wow that's totally awesome! How about making one for car too... xD That would save time to find parking lot in busy place especially... xD
(ID #172598) Posted on 2008/04/20 09:12
If I'm not mistaken, they already have one for cars... Saw the pics somehwhere on the net before but I don't think this would be practical for bikes.

That's very SF-esque... and I love it. If they could implement a larger system for cars then Singaporeans wouldn't have to worry about a lack of parking space when they come home late at night.
(ID #172674) Posted on 2008/04/20 11:36
If they did it for cars then it will be great! I remember watching the I Robot movie where the car park is also like tat one! It stores ur car in a rotating storage area!
(ID #172682) Posted on 2008/04/20 11:51
Wow that's amazing! Quite convienent too. Storage space is no longer a problem since it's all underground.
(ID #172690) Posted on 2008/04/20 12:25
すごい。 i hate parking any/all vehicles, so any innovation in this area is be pleasing.

This reminds me of that awesome carpark thingy seen in I, Robot, the movie starring Will Smith a few years ago. Now if only they can apply this concept to cars...
(ID #172951) Posted on 2008/04/21 01:21
necessity is really the mother of many invention. since they need space and can't make more, they have to maximize what they have.
(ID #172984) Posted on 2008/04/21 02:14
It looks quite like the wave of the future, but I can't think this will be used in high congestion areas where many people arrive at the same time while going to or from work. At 23 seconds/bike, think of the queue!

It reminds me of Gatchaman where all the pilots get shot up into their own compartments or any other giant robot animes for that matter. Does Japan have valet parking for Bikes, as well?
