Cascade Pushing for More Bikeshare, Faster

Early numbers for the two private bikeshare companies in Seattle are promising, or at least better than the numbers that Pronto used to get. The stationless aspect certainly adds a new level of convenience for the travel, and the pricing is attractive.

SDOT's policy allows each company's bike fleet to double in size each month, up to 2,000 in September. But by then, summer will be winding down and we won't see the full potential of these systems until the following year.

Cascade Bicycle Club is encouraging people to take action, and ask SDOT to change the rule to allow faster deployment. Have a look and say your piece!
