and I meant 'would', not wold - doh!

It depends what bike you put there, all I can think of is, it's going to get scratched. And imagine someone else walking away with your bike due to a technical fault and yours is better than theirs! Or what if you couldn't get your bike out at all for hours :P

Theyve been aroumd for a couple of years I assume they'd have ironned out any bumps like that by now...

Still room for fault like we have with laptops, pcs anything to do with technology..

Only if the bike tree would grow some nice steel frames. That would be lovely. I could pay for it with my money tree.

Two questions. 1. I'm like a Dog. I feel abandoned, my master has left me forever. 2. what happens when you're toe clips refuse to let go?

You're right, if it runs on ms software I'm not using it, but other wise I would.

Is 1 a question or a statement?

And hey, Apple software also breaks, no?

No it is definitely a statement.

Careful lileth - you'll get the mac fanbois in a froth.

How many exits/entrances do the bike trees have? if only one or a few then there would be HUGE queues of people waiting to retrieve their bikes

i'm all for robot-based cycle parking.

A small price to pay for securing your bike and know that it won't have been stolen/stripped when you get back.

No-one has said the obvious... only if it's located near where you would want to lock your bike.

Haha Hippy! I dont think the goverment/councils would want to plant quite a few bike trees in London...

i really enjoyed using the amsterdam underground garages when we rolled through there. and they're free! however, they lose points for not being robotic.

I'd use it but complain that "this is not my bike" and tell them it was an £8000 beast from Cannondale

You affix an RFID chip to your bike... they can pair them up.

I know but you can dream can't you. Joking apart seems like a very good idea. They should put some of these in all the train stations where apparently there is zero parking

As other have said if it was near where I wanted to lock for extended periods e.g near a place of work that dose not allow bike to be taken inside. Less than 500m max preferably less than 250 m.

Only if it's located near where hippy wouldn't want to lock his bike.

Only if my bike can be parked next to Oliver's

Only if occasionally I can use it as a hostel for the night.
