As complaints about the placement of New York's new bike share stations have shown, parking bicycles in an urban setting can be tricky.
A company in Japan has found a novel solution: Put them underground.
On the television show Culture Japan, which airs in Japan, host Danny Choo takes a look at the Eco Cycle bike garages at Tokyo's Shinagawa Station.
Each high-tech garage, built by construction company Giken, can hold 204 bikes in a 38-foot deep well beneath the ground.
As the human, all you have to do is get a membership and roll your bike up to the station. Robots park it underground, and fetch it when you want it back.
It's like valet parking, but with bikes and robots.
