As the Washington Post reports, Washington DC’s bike sharing program is open for business today. SmartBike DC will provide 120 bikes at 10 self-service racks in various locations downtown. A $40 annual membership fee allows cyclists to take a bike from any of the racks and return it to any other, with no limit on the number of trips. City officials hope the program will replace cab rides and public transit trips for many people, as similar programs have done in cities such as Paris and Barcelona.
