SmartBikes in Washington, DC

If you've ever been to France, you might recognize the concept of the SmartBike.

For an annual fee, you have access to these bikes. There are several bike stands all over the city. You just pick your bike up at one stand (using your member card) and drop it off at another stand.

The bike rack is connected to some sort of big brother creepy-in-a-cool-way facility that knows which bikes are where. You can even check bike availability on their website to make sure there are bikes available.

Now if only DC would get rid of some of these cars and put in bike lanes.
