Vertical bicycle parking concept saves space and freshens you up too

There is a renewed interest in carpooling, public transportation, and other energy-efficient modes of transportation – including our old friend, the bicycle. Gone are the days of the purely recreational bicycle, when weekend warriors only hit the paths, mountain and municipal, to pedal for exercise and enjoyment. The two big obstacles for a greater number of citizens to adopt this greener mode of transit is parking in rows of stands utilizing precious city space, and the sweat that cyclists have to get rid of as they walk into their office. This unique vertical bicycle parking solution adopts a greener and cleaner approach to these problems. Using a minimal footprint pole to line up bicycles and adding that cool looking solar water heating washroom, sure makes the prospect of riding to work more attractive to me. Take a look at all the images to get the grandness of the idea.

People are increasingly commuting to work and school via bicycle, and cities and towns are making changes to their infrastructure and laws to ensure this socially responsible choice remains safe and supported.
