Residents, tourists and workers are encouraged to use the area's unique Capital Bikeshare program, a network of more than 1,000 rental bicycles spread across more than 100 stations throughout Washington DC and Arlington County. Pick 'em up here and drop 'em off there or pick 'em up there and drop 'em off here--either way is a great way to get around, and the first 30 minutes of every trip you take is free, no matter how many stations you visit.

You can even download a free App called Spotcycle that runs on iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices. It tells you where you can pick a bike up, where you can drop one off, how many bikes are in the station and more.

Is DC a cool town or what?
