i'd love to have one of those outside my apt, work, gym, etc etc etc.
heck if they made a portable version i'd take it with me =P
(that might be defeating the point though eh?)

while a great concept it does seem a little excessive (materials and space) for just ONE bike. However, it is a great start.
Why does it seem that North America is sorely lagging behind in the bicycle department? Oh how I long to move to Europe

Though the pictures show only one bike stored, Bike Tree will actually store multiple bikes (one in each of those little grooves). You can actually see a second one on its way up in the extended post photo. Cool, isn't it?

I think this is awesome. A few concerns though.
This looks expensive and a price isn't listed on their website, are you going to have to pay to park your bike?
I can maybe see colleges adopting this thing, but american municipalities generally won't spend money on anything unless they're sure it's worth it. I wonder how receptive a city like, oh, say Kansas City would be to investing in this.
Anyway, I just see it as an uphill battle in the US. I'm personally for anything that encourages people to leave their cars parked and use pedal power, but I there's a lot that needs to be done before a great bicycle parking system like this is going to be widely used.
I personally live in a town that is very bike-unfriendly, the roads are narrow and the drivers inconsiderate, and the city government really isn't concerned with changing any of that.
I still think its great though and would love to see one everywhere I go so that I could feel that my bike was safe.

I would love to see these in the US soon, but then again I have always been worried about the US transportational system and think it should be reevalutated.
