First Bikeshare Stations Installed in Reston

While riding along Wiehle Ave near the Wiehle-Reston East station this morning we spotted a Capital Bikeshare truck headed toward the Reston Town Center. We decided to detour through the Town Center to see if any of the planned bikeshare stations had been installed. Sure enough, at the Reston Town Center Transit Station a 17-dock station is now in place.

We rode past a few of the other planned Reston stations and found one at Reston Regional Library (15-dock) and at the Wiehe-Reston East Station (35-dock). Those are all locations owned by Fairfax County. You should expect to see the rest of the stations appearing soon.

It's exciting to think that bikeshare will soon be a reality in Fairfax County. Kudos to Fairfax DOT, the Board of Supervisors, and others for making this happen.
