Local bike share systems

According to an article in today's Post, Law firm starts bike rental program for its employees, a law firm in Alexandria just started their own bike sharing system. Employees can check out one of three bikes stored on-site for short trips around town.

Companies don't need to wait for a regional bike sharing system, they can start their own. National Wildlife Federation in Reston, which won the Bicycle-Friendly Employer Challenge at Reston's Bike to Work Day, has had a small fleet of bikes for it's employees for many years. They are located adjacent to the W&OD Trail. They are also at the end of a long business park cul-de-sac, so trips in the car involve a much longer distance than just hopping on the trail to eat lunch or run nearby errands. posted by Bruce Wright at 12:46 PM permalink
