More vending goodness now – this time from Holland, and as perhaps expected…for bicycles.

Obviously there are perhaps issues with bikes being stolen or ending up in spinning studios in Zimbabwe within and hour of rental, but it’s a concept…and a fine one at that.
For one thing – those daft metro cops would have a hard time blocking morning traffic on the highways if everyone was on a bike.
