An impressive video has emerged of what it is like to park your bicycle in Japan, proving once and for all that the technologically-advanced country has thought of everything.
A man in the video posted to YouTube can be seen putting his bike into an elevator-like contraption, just before it is sucked into a metal shaft with rows and rows of bicycle holders. A metal arm places the bike in its position, until the owner comes for its retrieval.
This is a place where bicycle chains are redundant and you never return to find a tire missing. Although Japan's underground bike garages have been around for years -- with Japanese engineering company Giken Seisakusho Co. behind the innovative solution -- the latest slick video highlights the beautiful mechanics.
