Pretty fair article. I use SmartBike all the time, but it is extremely limited in scope. DC is ready to expand, has the money, and would have more stations functioning by now if not for Clear Channel shirking its side of the bargain (they're adhering to the letter of the law, but only via loophole; they've abandoned the spirit of the agreement).
The good news is that both DC and Arlington have money for bike-sharing that *has* to be spent in the next year or it goes away, so any delays aren't likely to be very long.
