japanese bicycle elevator silo

Did anyone see anything like this on the trip to Japan? I think I'd sit and play with it for hours.

Nice all your base subliminal message too.

That is neat

but I am pretty sure it is magical midget ninjas that take the bikes.

Believe in the magic of Japanese machines!

We didn't see that, but we did see this bicycle escalator thing near Shinagawa.

Here is another view of it. And a non-neoned Joby. I think this was how to get to/from the regular (non-robotic), multi-level, underground bike parking. There was an aggressive "don't park here" campaign up on the sidewalk.

I used a bunch of bike escalators very similar to those to get the loaded trucker around german train stations. Those things are a god send.

So if you put in a full size bike in the magic storage device you get back a midget bike? Cool

Now, if you can figure out how to do a gnarly trackstand on an incline, would the bike escalator take you up the stairs?
