DC's great new Capital Bikeshare system seems to be doing well. Perhaps still an intriguing yet puzzling concept to some. Personally I think it fits well into the citizen cycling model, get-on-and-go.
What would be fantastic is if someone developed an APP for mobile devices (iPhone, android, Blackberry) for the Capital Bikeshare stations and additional info.
I think I'd be more inclined to "grab and go" with these bikes if I knew where all the stations were all the time at any given moment.
I haven't used the the bikeshare program yet but I'm planning to start since the price is right... $50/year!

I think SpotCycle is one such app people are using, there may be others.
