September 20th, 2011 · 15 Comments · Capitol Hill, Capitol Hill North, Capitol Hill South

Today marks the one year anniversary of Capitol Bikeshare, the nation’s largest public bike sharing system (at least until those laggards up in New York finally catch up). Which means it’s been a bit under a year that residents of Lincoln Park have had to suffer the cruel indignity of having 15 bikes foisted upon them.
