Attractive solution - much nicer than the "bike jungle" near the Amsterdam train station.

Is the storage density sufficient for the locale?

Hi H202!

We are looking forward to learning more about your hangAbike design proposal. With the competition wrapping up in January, let us know if we can put you in touch with one of the advisors or provide more information or answer any questions on competition guidelines.

Thank you, and we look forward to reviewing the final submission!

Definitely a different take on bike storage. Density might be on the low side, and some folks will have problems lifting the bike into the rack. Protection against the weather is a plus. Significant costs might be offset through a payment systems that seems to be suggested. Would be good to have a cost estimate as well. Could commuters rent a box on a weekly or monthly basis as is common for indoor car parking?

We are excited to review your proposal but noticed a few pieces are still needed, such as a cost estimate. With the competition ending in a little over a week, please let me know we can answer any questions or provide other assistance.

Good luck, and thank you for participating in the Kendall Square EcoDistrict's High Density Bike Parking Design Competition!

I think Martin B has some good questions. This is a very cool set of thoughts about how to do this. If you have seen the bike garages in DC or in Amsterdam, you know that they can be very messy. It would definitely be nice to make the system less of a jumble.

It would also be cool to include some other types of parking systems for bigger or goofier bikes. Perhaps do this in conjunction with the BikeRings.
