Alexandria gets bikesharing

Eight new Capital Bikeshare stations are coming to Alexandria.

The shiny red bikes will be available to use in early September, officials say, after all eight installations – which start Monday — are completed.

The Alexandria City Council voted last year to add the stations as a pilot program, and officials will consider adding more stations if funds become available.

The new locations include:

• Prince Street/Union Street

• King Street/North Royal Street

• King Street/Sout Patrick Street

• Commerce Street/South Fayette Street

• North Saint Asaph Street/Pendleton Street

• North Henry Street/Pendleton Street

• Braddock Road Metro

• King Street-Old Town Metro

Capital Bikeshare already operates more than 175 stations and more than 1,600 bikes in the District and Arlington.
