Washington D.C. Launches Nation's Largest Bike-Share Program. By Matt Martinez, Grist, September 20, 2010. "Washington D.C. and Arlington County debuted Capital Bikeshare on Monday [Sept. 20]. It's the largest bike sharing program in the United States -- 1,100 bikes at 100 kiosks in the District and Northern Virginia. (Denver and Minneapolis are the other two cities in the US with significant bike share programs.) The previous iteration of the District's bike share system, SmartBike, launched in 2008. Operated by Clear Channel Communications, it never really caught fire… Capital Bikeshare is modeled on the bike share service in Montreal. It's a public-private partnership -- funded by user fees and operated and maintained with private companies. D.C.'s program is operated by Alta Bicycle Share, based in Portland, Ore."
