The biceberg is a thing of beauty & a joy forever - cannot wait to see
these popping up all over Melb.

Not sure about the cyclepod - don't think the engineers would be too
happy about handlebars at eye level... but a nice concept - there's
gotta be a better way to park bikes than the current hoops.

Two questions on this one
1) what happens when the power goes out?
2) how long does it take to produce a bicycle from lowest level?

oh and a 3rd

3) how vandal proof is it?

Wondering if it is designed for mudguards?
Betcha it isn't.

I was talking about that pole hanger one, but it could also apply to the
cabinent one.

If you ride a bicycle with mudguards and have to wheel stand it onto the
back wheel, you sudenly find you are sitting on your mudguard and
relector instead of rubber.

And I suspect that an effective front mudguard would have trouble with
the suspension loop.


and it might be a good guess that the iceberg/cabinent might not have
been designed long enough to take bikes with mudguards either.
