There have been nearly 900+ people who have signed up for SmartBike so far. I don't bike through the downtown region too often, but have seen a few people using them at the grocery store or around town, which is encouraging. I had said all 2000 memberships would be sold in 3 months, so it looks like that won't happen.
Only one bike has been stolen so far, which the Department of Transportation is working to recover, Sebastian said.
Which is a lot if you only have 150 bikes.
Sebastian said his agency wants to increase the number of bikes and locations throughout the city, but plans for expansion have not been set.
I would sign up if there were more stations, especially outside of downtown - Admo, CHeights, Eastern Market, Woodley Park, etc.
