My biggest problem with the SmartBike is that I end up carrying my helmet around all day. As much as I enjoy biking, I don’t really want to look like a biker all the time.
Second problem is that most of the pickup/dropoff sites are walking distance apart. I look forward to the expansion to Capitol Hill, Union Station, Columbia Heights, Georgetown … and dare we dream …. Arlington National Cemetery.
