Saw this idea on Springwise and thought it was a pretty unique and good idea - Self-serve parking bay for bikes.
I lived for about 18 months without a car and I loved using my bike to get around town. The only hassle was the high theft rate in Toronto. If I wanted to leave my bike for any length of time, I had to ride my banged up old mountain bike even though I have a much faster (and more comfortable) racing bike.
Toronto has posts all over downtown for locking up bikes but in some areas they get completely full, which makes me think a self-serve parking lot for bikes would be useful in the high traffic areas. Even now that I have a car, I would still ride around town more often if I had somewhere secure to lock up my good bike.
I hope the self serve bike parking makes it's way across the ocean to North America!
