Fifty bikeshare stations planned for stations along the Red Line
Montgomery County officials still seek funding for project by Kristi Tousignant, Staff Writer Maryland Gazette 11/30/2011 "Commuters could keep on riding even after they exit Metro trains if 50 bikeshare stops proposed around the Red Line open as early as next winter. Montgomery County officials and residents discussed Tuesday adding bicycle stations that would connect to the bike network in Washington, D.C., and Arlington, Va. The county hopes to add 50 stations with 400 bikes along and around Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s Metrorail Red Line, focusing on places like Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Forest Glen and Wheaton..." http://www.gazette.net/article/20111...mplate=gazette |

Capital Bikeshare in Washington DC has been one of the most successful transportation initiatives in this region in years. Not only is the company doing well (bucking what most said would never work in the Capital) but they are even expanding into Maryland and Virginia along existing and future metro stations. Unfortunately most of these metro stations have yet to integrate bi-modal transportation systems outside of cars to this point but the new Silver line in northern virginia gives a blank slate for design ideas at this point. We should be seeing some new bikelanes in Tysons Corner specifically being integrated in some of the secondary thoroughfares at some point in 2012 which hopefully along with our really good bus system and future metro can help reduce traffic and office park sprawl in the region. |
Salt Lake City is on track to open a downtown bike sharing program in the spring / early summer (500+ bikes).
I have it from a reliable source (who works for the city) that Salt Lake City just scored a hefty little grant to build barrier separated 7ft wide bike lanes on one of the streets downtown. |

Besides most people in Logan sq. or points south (Wicker, West Town) have bikes already. How about covered bike racks or more bike parking along East/West routes along the Blue line? How about finally making the Bloomingdale into a multi use path? |
We can't allow bike lanes, because they might be used by terrorists!.

Carnegie Mellon University industrial design students Jonathan Ota and Ethan Frier developed the Aura system that brings attention to bicyclists by lighting up their bike. The students incorporated six groups of three tri-colored LEDs attached to the rims of a bike. The lights are powered by a generator built into the front hub.
