DC and Arlington are launching Capital Bikeshare this morning, the largest bikeshare program in the U.S. Capital Bikeshare is suppling 1,100 bikes at 114 stations in Washington, D.C. and Arlington, VA for your pleasure. The beauty of the program is you can snag a bike at Tingey Plaza, cycle through DC and along the Potomac and leave it at the 27^th and Crystal Drive station in Arlington. 

Or grab a bike at the end of work and drop it off at the checkpoint closest to your apartment. You’ve worked out before dinner and didn’t even have to wake up early. Be efficient! Let the bike facilitate your weight loss. It’s your beacon, your solution, your vehicle for exhilarating rides. Maybe DCFT is getting carried away, but looking at the cyclists biking to work this morning while I was stuck in my car ignited by a strong desire to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Check out all the details of Capital Bikeshare. Purchase an annual membership for just $50, only for a limited time. That’s a fraction of a gym membership. Sign up today and vow to equate fall 2010 with being a biking fiend. 

Happy(ish) Monday.
