Major press covers DC's bike-sharing
DC's imminent bike-sharing is getting some ink lately. Today's Washington Post Express had an article about it on page 9, featuring Jim Sebastian of DDOT. Our own Paul DeMaio was quoted in a New York Times article about it. And Bicycling magazine named DC the most improved in urban cycling, with a paragraph of their article talking about the bike-sharing component.
It's also featured in the Express question of the day, "Would you consider driving less if you had access to a bike-sharing service?" (The poll is on their homepage, under the big story in the center.) Right now the bikes are losing to the automotive gods, so I don't know what sort of Earth-haters are voting, but if you'd like to have your voice heard in the debate, head on over.
