Further Proof Japan > America


Japan has devised an ingenious way to store the hundreds of thousands of bikes that populate their largest cities. They've built this giant robotic bicycle parking garage, or as I like to call it, the coolest fucking thing ever built. It cost $67M and can house up to 9,400 bikes at a time.

All the technical details are in the video, but it's the stuff they don't mention which gets me thinking.

Japan has clearly mastered all other technology? How else would they have so much time to pump into a glorified bike rack? It's really only a matter of days until those 9,400 bikes transform into a giant harbinger of death and reign terror upon lesser nations.
