Bike Parking on Oike Kyoto

Here is one of the bike parking stands along Kyoto's Oike Dori.

The wide boulevard, which runs in front of City Hall, now has hundreds of these spaces for bikes.

The first 30 minutes are free. After that, it costs 100 yen to for three hours, and then 50 yen for each additional two hours.

This simple stroke of city planning genius has helped clean up the mess - a bit.

Here's hoping the idea spreads.
