Expanded bike share christened with new name

Published



Drum rolls, please… The District and Arlington’s new bike-sharing program has a new name: Capital Bikeshare.

The District Department of Transportation Tuesday evening announced the name for the program that will bring about 1,000 bikes to 114 stations in the two jurisdictions this fall, expanding the District’s existing SmartBike D.C. program. Riders can rent a bike for a short trip, then drop it off at one of the stations.
