The main problem with this is that if it takes 23 seconds per bike and there are 9400 bikes it takes 2.5 days to fill up or empty out.

HA! He rides a girl's bike.

I was waiting for them to put a camera on the bike, and they finally did.

I thought the same thing about it screwing up somehow, and somebody getting stuck with the wrong bike. How do you argue with the machine?

It's cool, but you know at some time it's either going to break down or screw up and return the wrong bike. Then way do you do?

They have a similar machine where they park cars. I don't remember the name, but it's also on youtube.
