Tokyo's ECO Cycle Underground Bicycle Parking System

With over 13.16 million people living in Tokyo, space is expensive and rare. Tokyo is often described as a commuter city, and while many turn to public transport to get them around the city, more and more people are taking to their two wheels to travel.

To answer the demand for secure bike storage, GIKEN developed an underground bicycle park. Above ground bicycle parks are unthinkable in Japan's capital city due to the prohibitive price of land. GIKEN describes the ECO Cycle underground parking system to be a no-nuisance scheme for a 'beautiful and habitable urban development'
