What I don't understand is: how do they move the bikes without damaging the locks?

The bikes are locked but not fastened to something. So the butlers simple lift the bikes, locked and all, and put them in the right place.

I would guess they use rear wheel sliding locks [1]. Here in Amsterdam they are really popular.

I was wondering that too. Perhaps the low crime rate means people don't lock their bikes to solid objects?
