Underground bike parking in Japan
Japan has an amazing underground bicycle parking system.
This parking system saves space and guarantees safety.
From the outside, it looks like an elevator, but inside, it hides a complex mechanism. The parking process takes only 8 seconds.
After payment, the bike is placed on the rails, and it instantly goes down to a depth of up to 17 meters.
Parking fees are $14 per month for students and $19 per month for everyone else.
To pick up the bike, you just need to put your card in the scanner, and the system will bring it back.
