SmartBike DC: First Bicycle-Sharing Program in the U.S.»

The New York Times reports a new bicycle-sharing pro­gram to be tested in Wash­ing­ton D.C., where, for a $40/year sub­scrip­tion, users will have access to check-out bikes from dif­fer­ent spots through­out the city and use them for up to three hours. There are sim­i­lar pro­grams in place around the world, which some say have caused a sig­nif­i­cant [pos­i­tive] effect in traf­fic and pol­lu­tion problems.
