Close-Packed Bicycle Storage

T-Bike by Jung Tak Proposes an Efficient System for Renting Pushbikes

— October 12, 2012 — Autos
As cycling becomes an ever more popular activity in congested cities, solutions like this concept called T-Bike by Jung Tak would prove undoubtedly useful. The proposal calls for the incredibly dense storage of a great number of bicycles so that there should always be enough man-powered conveyances to go around.

The tiny transparent shipping container would assume less area than a parking space. As such, the bike rack could be situated on a sidewalk, in a building or a parking garage without causing any serious obstruction. Its small size would also make it easy to transport it on the back of a truck so that the two-wheeler vending machines can be positioned at public exhibitions and events or simply rotated around the city. T-Bike by Jung Tak would enable people to use a smartphone app to reserve and pay for their ride.
Trend Themes
1. Dense Bicycle Storage - Innovative bike storage solutions utilizing minimal space, such as T-Bike, can revolutionize the future of bike rental services.
2. Smartphone Bike Rental Apps - Mobile apps that allow users to easily reserve and pay for bike rentals, as demonstrated by T-Bike, can provide a convenient and efficient transportation option in urban areas.
3. Portable Bike Vending Machines - Mobile bike vending machines, like T-Bike, can easily be transported and strategically placed at events, parks, and other public spaces to provide access to bikes for rental, promoting increased physical activity and reducing traffic congestion in cities.
Industry Implications
1. Bike Rental Services - Bike rental companies can utilize innovative bike storage and rental solutions to provide more efficient and accessible transportation options for city dwellers.
2. Smartphone App Developers - Developers can create bike rental apps like T-Bike's, incorporating user-friendly features such as easy payment and reservation systems, to enhance the overall bike rental experience.
3. Event Planners - Event planners can partner with mobile bike vending machine companies like T-Bike to offer attendees a more eco-friendly means of transportation, while also promoting health and wellness.
