Bikeshare coming to Montgomery County
The WashCycle has posted several articles recently about Capital Bikeshare coming to Montgomery County, including the fact that there is now a Montgomery County Bikeshare page. We're jealous (of WashCycle's ability to write so many good articles about biking in the area, but primarily about MoCo getting bikeshare before Fairfax). At least we are applying for funding for a study...From the MoCo bikeshare page:
By late Summer 2013 Montgomery County will be extending Capital Bikeshare to:
- Bethesda
- Friendship Heights
- Life Sciences Center
- Rockville
- Shady Grove
- Silver Spring
- Takoma Park
The County’s BikesShare Program will consist of two systems:
Downcounty Bikeshare System
- 30 bikeshare stations
- 250 bikes
- Service area: along the East and West legs of the Metrorail Red Line from the District Line to Silver Spring/Takoma Park on the East and Friendship Heights, Bethesda and Medical Center Metro on the West
- 21 bikeshare stations
- 250 bikes
- Service area:
- Special focus: part of a pilot program to extend BikeShare to lower income workers commuting to work or education and training.
