Sven Andersson is the inventor of Bike Stand, an urban transport initiative from Sweden that is proposed for Australian cities. Bike Stand involves several underground installations that house bicycles available free for 30 minutes. These installations would be placed all around the various cities to make them convenient for commuters and other city travelers.
Intended to take thousands of cars off the road, this initiative is part of the Absolut World ad campaign. You can sign the petition and build government support for Bike Stand at the URL below.
