Comments on: Bike Station Coming to Washington http://goodspeedupdate.com/2007/2089 Rob Goodspeed's blog Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:48:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Todd Boulanger http://goodspeedupdate.com/2007/2089/comment-page-1#comment-29431 Todd Boulanger Fri, 11 May 2007 06:05:16 +0000 http://goodspeedupdate.com/?p=2089#comment-29431 Nice site and discussion Rob. We too are excited about what a DC facility means for Bikestation. Bikestation has a board member in DC too - Michael Replogle, Transportation Director, Environmental Defense - if you are looking for the local angle. Some of the more logical bikestation examples for DC would be barebones stations inside DC subway stations - like our existing bikestations in BART Berkeley and Embarcadero stations. If your readers are looking at what it takes to develop a bikestation...goto our site: http://www.bikestation.org/Development/Development.asp I am a board member working on developing bikestations in the NW and other areas.

I grabbed a brochure & business card if you want it. Funny, I was just in Long Beach for business & ran across the original (U.S.) Bikestation. I grabbed a brochure & business card if you want it.

I still vividly remember when I first saw <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/dcjohn/2924859/" rel="nofollow">the bike garage in Amsterdam</a> and got (literally) teary-eyed that, finally, someone had done something so sensible and thoughtful.

This will make it even easier for folks who live in the suburbs to ride into work and save themselves the headache, money, and CO2 emissions that go along with driving, all while getting their daily exercise during their commute! Now if we could get some more bike lanes... This is the greatest news I’ve read all day!
