Capital Bikeshare will add almost 60 new stations this fall

Don’t miss the chance to tour D.C. by bicycle this fall.

Capital Bikeshare will unveil almost 60 new bike rental locations around the District, the Washington Post reported Monday.

The bikeshare’s expansion was delayed by more than a year when its manufacturer, Montreal-based company Public Bike System Co., went bankrupt in 2014. Capital Bikeshare will be getting its new equipment from a New York-based company called Motivate.

According to The Post, the District is purchasing 40 bike stations and more than 400 bikes for $2.5 million.

Capital Bikeshare, which launched in 2010, currently rents out more than 3,000 bikes from more than 300 stations and services more than 29,000 members.
