Via BeyondDC, we have word that the first bike-sharing locations for the Capital Bikeshare system have been announced.  These first 14 stations of the proposed 114 throughout DC and Arlington are located in Pentagon City and Crystal City.  Check out the map of the recently-announced stations— they’re all in pretty high-traffic areas close to restaurants, offices, apartment buildings.

Capital Bikeshare is expected to start up in September, and there’s still time to vote for where you’d like to pick up and drop off bikes.
