Hmm, they say they are using stimulus money for the expansion. Sounds good to me.
Hopefully the bikes won't get trashed like is happening in France.

our bikes seem to be standing up well. I'm not sure but I want to guess it is because of our different system- we pay for a year long membership and rent with by using identifying information. Over there, they rent by using a euro or two and it is anonymous. But they also have a lot of crime and graffiti- not to say we don't but in NW it is a bit different
Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

Aaargh! I move away from Paris right before they get the Velib program going, and I move away from DC right before they get their SmartBike program going...!

An update to the SmartBike program from WTOP.com: Message of improved bike safety driven home. DC seems to really be trying to get its act together about bikes. Pretty cool.
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
Random babblings and some stuff to look at.
