I've just noticed a comment on my post about the biceberg secure underground cycle park which refers to the almost unfortunately named b-igloo.

"an automatic, intelligent system of storage, parking and management, which receives and returns the bicycle at street level in less than 10 seconds and which also allows storage of items necessary for the use of the bicycle such as a rucksack, safety helmet, reflective elements, etc.

b-igloo is the fastest and safest system on the market for the safekeeping of bicycles, introducing an added advantage, the locker space, which allows the safe storage of the rest of the items transported, or “à la carte” personalisation of rented bicycles.

Its user-friendly, functional street furniture offers the possibility of installing different public services such as interactive information, automatic vending and advertising or additional facilities (repair and servicing of the bicycle).

Parking and retrieving bicycles is carried out via b-igloo parking cards that contain a chip, which stores user information, authorisations and restrictions.

The system facilitates all the management, customer service and attention to incidents tasks, guaranteeing perfect maintenance conditions and making b-igloo the best system for the application of parking and/or bicycle rental networks and, therefore, the best system to provide individual, sustainable, ecological transport."
