Would this be a nuisance to utility workers who have to access lights or wires on city poles?
This inspires an idea for a similar product. The bike could have an RC-operated hook and winch. The owner can toss the hook onto any high mounted object such as a street sign or low aerial utility line such as phone or cable. Then real the line in with the remote, pulling the bike out of reach. There would be many more potential "parking spaces". The utility lines are supported with steel guide wires that can handle a significant amount of weight[1] and they're much lower than power lines so a careful toss is more of a danger by missing and falling than by reaching an electrical hazard.
[1] as a former cable technician I can testify to this, we were trained to hook our ladders onto the lines half-way between two poles if necessary
