T-Bikes

Troy Turner, writing for Yanko Design, reports on designer Jung Tak’s concept for bike sharing storage:

This ingenious bike sharing system, designed specifically for the city of Seoul, focuses on the problem of parking capacity in the urban environment where limited space is available. The minimal T-Bikes are contained in vending machine-like, compact modular stations that can be easily relocated to popular areas or even transported as a permanent installation on a truck for mobile delivery. Simply locate and check out bikes directly from a smartphone!

It’s a neat design, though some have questioned the resilience of the design. Regardless, it is nice to see some innovative thought towards making urban biking a better experience.
