This amazing facility is definitely designed with the future in mind. Tokyo is a very crowded, bustling city, and it seems like real thought has gone into designing a long-term plan for people who use alternate forms of travel.
We've gotten to know a few hardcore bike enthusiasts here in Los Angeles, but I wonder why nothing like this has ever been conceived for LA or New York City. Bikes are great exercise and (obviously) zero carbon emissions vehicles. Let's see some innovative facilities in our major cities here in the U.S., please!

Chicago has bike parking and storage at some places, but nothing that extensive, which surprises me because they are supposedly the bike friendliest city in the US.

Hi Steve,
My name is Kim. I am a NYC resident and working on a community project focused on an eco-friendly way to keep bikes safe & free from theft and damage, and to promote a community of health & well-being. I researched today the Tokyo Bike Parking Tower today and was led to your blog, and I am moved by you wanting to make a difference also.
Will you work with me on this project? I am focused to take it on for the NYC community, but the further it can branch out into the United States community, the greater the impact.
Please contact me. Thanks for your time & consideration
~Kim
