The proposed expansion of the Capital Bikeshare program has finally arrived in Brookland! For those of you unfamiliar with the Capital Bikeshare Program, it is a network of 1,100 bicycle located at over 110 stations across Washington, D.C. and Arlington, VA. The daily, weekly, monthly or annual membership allows a member to pick up a bike from one Bikeshare locations, and drop it off at another. The way it works is members are sent a Capital Bikeshare key allowing them access to bikes at every location. Once you have arrived at one of the locations, you insert your key into any bike dock with an available bike and remove the bike for use. Once you are done you simply return the bike to an open slot at any location. The system is not meant for all day or week use of a single bike, but rather short term point to point use of bikes for commuting like purposes. 
The Brookland location can be found along the 12th St. side of CVS (below the intersection of 12th and Netwon St.), and is already operational, and is in perfect position for a quick trip down the Metropolitan Branch Trail to Union Station!Information and membership information can be found at the Capital Bikeshare website.
