Mount Up: Bikestation Is Nearly Upon Us

20090922_bikestation-450.jpgIT'S OFFICIAL — D.C. has taken its first step towards becoming America's answer to Amsterdam — well, second step. Amsterdam Falafel Shop was the delicious, vegetarian first step. In addition to today being World Car Free Day, Union Station's new Bikestation is now accepting online memberships (the grand opening is slated for Oct. 2).

Created to foster bike use in our transit system, the Bikestation will offer secure indoor and outdoor bike parking, a changing room, lockers, bike rentals, repairs and a small retail shop selling bike accessories to members and one-time users. This is the first bike station of its kind on the East Coast, and users can chose annual, monthly, or daily memberships.

Now if we could just improve (ahem) our coffee shop situation ....
