Do you remember the last time you locked your bike at a public post and took the seat, only to come back two hours later and find both the wheels have also been removed? (At least your Kryptonite was left intact!) The Bike Tree is the perfect solution for your city or school. Simply swipe your smart card, enter your PIN and watch as your bike is hoisted up into the glass canopy, filling out a bike rain forest of sorts. Perfect for bike sharing or rental programs, the system was first installed in Geneva and is powered by solar power, but your bike is still accessible 24/7. (Thanks, Luke!)
