And I imagine that it really helps getting the bikes out of the way. But how far do you have to walk to work once you've parked your bike? 9,400 bikes is a lot of bikes! Maybe you need a little bike to take from the bike rack to your office! Jon Boyd Very slick.

But how far do you have to walk to work once you’ve parked your bike? 9,400 bikes is a lot of bikes!

Maybe you need a little bike to take from the bike rack to your office!

No bikes cluttering the sidewalks or at risk for being stolen or damaged and yet quickly accessible, looked like 22 seconds!. I wonder if they have smaller type facilities that individual organizations/buildings can put in place specific to their employees onsite? I'm lucky, I get to work from an office in my home but can see how this lifestyle (biking to/from work) would be advantageous, no fuel costs, extraordinary health benefits, ... just one other thought, are there showers onsite so people can freshen up?
