Yeah, but it's obviously a mistake - to detect braking you'd need a decelerometer.

Love the lift, but what happens when you want to get off? Some sort of floor would have to slide in underneath you for you to step down onto. Or the bike would have to move horizontally away from the shaft.
And there's a limit of one person in the shaft at a time. What if someone else is going all the way up and they're really slooooow? You'd have to have lots of shafts, I suppose. And there'll have to be some non-human power in order to move the empty lift to the floor where it's required.
OK, I'm getting a bit less enthuiastic about the lift.
The BBC finally notices utility cycling! About bloody time. Even though the article barely mentions the benefits in terms of health, pollution, quality of life, congestion, value for money etc, etc. Still, a refreshing change from the BBC's normal relentless helmet promotion.
