A “bike platform” that temporarily swaps one car parking space for ten bicycles
While bicycles are popular, it is hard to imagine that human-pedaled versions will become a norm.<p>It is impossible to imagine them used in a heat of Miami, or Atlanta (Georgia), or in Moscow.<p>There well populated and mild-weathered megalopolis (London, most southern CA, north east China) -- but the speed, distance and volume of participants -- just do not make bicycles practical.<p>I think the long solution is really de-urbanization of these megacities that act like a country-within-a-country.<p>On a separate note, I find the use of word 'platform' (even in quotes) is unfortunate.<p>Platforms, I though, mean something that provides composeable  building blocks + principles  for a variety of yet-to-be-anticipated needs.
