Video: StreetFilms on Smartbike DC Bike-Sharing Program

Bike-Sharing in D.C.
A week and a half ago we wrote about the launch of Smartbike DC, a new Vélib-style bike sharing in D.C. with 120 bikes and 10 stations.

StreetFilms went to have a closer look (you can click the image above, it's a video - for some reason the interface disappeared). One interesting piece of info from Alice Kelly from the District Department of Transportation: They didn't know how popular it would be, and they started planning it before the price of gas rose, so that's why it is that small right now. But they want to add more bikes and stations. Good news! Via D.C. Launches Bike-Sharing Program

That great. I'll look forward to seeing them in more areas. I would sure use it in Houston. I would also consider using it if I was there on vacation.

Its good to see that another city has followed the Paris (France) example. I wonder if they will implement the electric car sharing program that Paris is due to launch soon.
How about having a cycle helmet kiosk machine that would encourage people to travel safely.
