Cool but expensive.

Might just fit in a Carradice. Still heavy though.

That’s why I said ‘how cool is this?’ Not how cheap, how practical or how likely to come to a town near you.
There are many many cool things that are way outside my budget but they’re still cool

Don't know why, but it reminds me of watching Thunderbirds.

It absolutely needs to be set to the Thunderbirds music

Edit: the companies web site has some good info on construction, use etc http://www.biceberg.es/INGLES/index.htm

Will it wash and service the bike too?

 

[Threevok]

You're lucky to get a train with seats here, let alone a station with one of those

 

[Rusty Nails]

Will it take a BSO, or is there a weight limit?

I wouldn't want my £5k carbon bike parked next to a supermarket special.

Yes, like the Mobikes it would be vandalised within days. There are people in Britain who are so eaten up with resentment that they can't stand the idea of anybody else having fun.

[QUOTE 5531554, member: 9609"]couldn't have anything like that in the UK, too many brainless idiots here - wouldn't be long until someone jammed a push chair complete with bairn into it and sodded off to torrymolinos for a week in the sun.[/QUOTE]

Yep!

How does the system cope with peak demand, serving bikes one at a time?
