In order to promote the initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases according to the Kyoto Protocol, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is strengthening its support for local governments to encourage the use of bicycles by providing the facilities for bicycle parking. The local governments want a mechanical bicycle parking facility with a high capacity and high speed handling capability. The facility will also solve the problem of leaving bicycles near railroad stations. The problem is usually one of complaints from residents, which is viewed as a social problem. Some companies have begun to enter the business of constructing mechanical bicycle parking facilities. Our company also developed its mechanical bicycle parking facility in 2004. This report presents the features of our bicycle parking facility“CYCLE PARK,”which has a high speed handling capability and high capacity with improved operability, safety and maintainability.
