Costanza on two wheels? Seriously, I think this is an excellent idea
Donna.It would also be great if this kind of forward thinking could be
extended to the lawn care and ground keeping sectors of the local economy.

If we find downtown bike parking space is at such a premium it is
worth investing in a cool system like this, let's instead use that
money to create a job(s) and hire someone to run a bike valet and
physically move the bikes down a non-carbon using ramp and park our
bikes underground. It will also create a valuable job opportunity
involving movement, exercise, social interaction and build on social
capital, as bike users have a human to interact with rather than a
machine.

It seems a little carbon-intensive for a place like Madison with

Tokyo is not the only place with a system like this.
A Spanish company makes something similar, but on a slightly
smaller scale than Tokyo's:
