Out of gas, can’t flag down a cab or just need to zip somewhere quick? Bikedispenser could be your ticket – a fully automated bicycle rental station. A more practical use would be next to a train or bus station where commuters have a short leg to their office. Each dispenser stores 50-100 bikes. Only catch is that as far as we can tell, it’s currently only available in the Netherlands – get it going near you by partnering or build your own!

In Italy, Nintendo marketeers have posted hundreds of Post-It notes to create iconic video game heros from the 80’s. Flickr user benvolut is also creating similar art that you can see here. A cool form of graffiti that doesn’t damage and gives you the ultimate pixelated effect.

Indie rock, vintage Japanese chairs decked in thick black leather and beverages create a unique atmosphere for a salon. Getting your hair done seems like a good enough excuse to go to Pimps & Pinups in London.
