This is really amazing. I think Japanese people influenced a lot in achieving this fantastic bike racks.

Seems like with just a little more plastic they could've made a roof over the whole bike station, which is preferable because you can put down your umbrella while you fiddle with your lock

FWIW, I seem to remember them from the late 70's/early 80's. But somehow, their design looks more recent. Like early 90's.

I fully agree with you Mikael that innovation sometimes goes wrong... I wonder if this type of bikeracks can be found anywhere in the Netherlands? I am sure that we also have 'innovative' bikeracks in the same 'goes wrong' category.

Don't know where they originated, but we have similar contraptions in Dallas, Texas. Previously we had fully enclosed locker "boxes" at the light rail stations. In the "boxes" the plastic components on bicycles were melting from the Texas summer sun and 40+ degree temperatures. Since these are open on the bottom, presumably they will be cooler.
