Capital Bikeshare in DC - The Making of a Pedestrian Friendly City

 


Launched in August of 2007, Capital Bikeshare, or CaBi as the locals call it, has been a huge success.  The program started with just 120 bikes at 10 stations and in almost 4 years has grown to include 1,100 bikes and 110 stations  across Washington, D.C. and Arlington, VA.   You can check out a bike at one of the self service stations, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Run errands, visit friends, go shopping, catch the Metro, or ride to work.  The first 30 minutes of each trip are free and you can return the bikes to any Capital Bikeshare station.  
Are you taking notes Dallas - Ft Worth, and Arlington?
