Japanese Train Station Parking Lot Packed Full of Bikes

August 17, 2008 · Print This Article

This is pure awesome – and we need a lot more of this in the U.S.  It’s a bicycle parking lot outside a train station in Japan, a country where this is quite a common sight.  Imagine if Americans were as gung-ho about riding bikes everywhere as the Japanese, the Chinese or the Dutch – we’d all be so much healthier and happier, and our country would be a hell of a lot cleaner.

It would be hard to remember where you parked, though.  “Remember, kids – GOOFY D!”

    Do you realize for 1 parked car there is probably, like 10 bikes parked in this parking lot?!?
    What would you do to your city if there was no car? Wow the possibilities…

Got something to say?
