An underwater bike garage that is next-level cycling infrastructure

The Dutch city of Amsterdam spent €60 million to create a parking structure that can store 7,000 bicycles in a submerged facility at the city’s central train station

While the Netherlands is already internationally famous for its excellent bicycle infrastructure, the new bike garage just opened in Amsterdam arguably takes the Dutch cycle obsession to a new level.

Capable of holding up to 7,000 bikes and built at a cost of €60 million, the facility at Amsterdam’s central station isn’t the largest bike garage in the country. It does, however, have a very unique feature: It is located entirely underwater.
