D.C. bike sharing

Paul DeMaio, owner of MetroBike, a bike-sharing consulting company based in Washington, D.C., and a blogger for the Bike-sharing Blog, is working with planners in D.C., which will introduce the country's first city-wide, bike-sharing program next spring. According to DeMaio, 120 bikes will be available to commuters. And although a fee has not yet been established, the bikes will be made available for free for the first 30 minutes.
