Having people walk their bikes up and down moving walkways seems a somewhat odd choice given that they could ride faster on the same slope. Also interesting that at least for the oversized bike section there’s nowhere to tether a lock. Granted I know Dutch bikes generally get by with wheel locks, but I’m still a bit surprised not to have the option incorporated in a brand new facility.

maybe the theft rate for the bigger ones is negligible?

Well I guess that's an improvement.

It could be the case. And of course the bigger your bike, the smaller the risk that someone will just carry it off, which is the big weakness of wheel locks.

And of course, if you were stealing bikes, there are many thousands of poorly secured bikes all over the city, so why would you try to steal from a busy, well-lit, somewhat restricted access, and presumably camera-monitored garage? I bet thefts till happen though, because no one said bicycle thieves  are the brightest individuals.

that’s quite a possibility, with the cameras and security

Soo, how long until someone (farsc ythe ) uses the motorized ramp to see just how fast they can go?

Could be much, much worse

(looks like a new cannabis strain, except it's bikes )

We could never have this in ‘Murica because there is always at least one person stupid enough to ruin it for the rest of us.*

* Trying to ride the bike into it, urinating/defecating in it, “took my eye off my child for just one second, and he/she is in the ICU/dead ”, teenage pranks like lighting a M80 and tossing it in, using it as a Suicide Box ala Futurama, etc.
