“The Bike Cab is the new solution for the simple, secure and comfortable transport of bicycles. Eight bikes can be carried simultaneously with just one Bike Cab. Loading and unloading is performed by the riders themselves, who attach their bikes to the bike holders in the bottom station and then board the next cabin. The bikes are carried safely up the mountain and in the top station guests have plenty of time to retrieve their bikes – then it’s off to the downhill thrills.”

Interesting bit of alpine engineering from Doppelmayr who just debuted their “Bike Cab” solution for maximum efficiency uphill bike transportation. 8 bikes and 10 passengers between 2 cabins is a pretty slick mode to loop a ski resort downhill run. Doppelmayr just presented the new design yesterday so no telling what the adoption rates will be. Thoughts?
