A bike well away from its natural habitat has turned up in Seattle. According to DCist:
Capital Bikeshare bikes are pretty unmistakable—they’re big, bulky, bright red, and have the distinctive “Capital Bikeshare” logo scribbled right down the middle of it— They’re so unmistakable that, if you were to spot one in, say, Seattle, you’d know it was the real deal.
And so it was that a fellow former-D.C.-resident-turned-Seattleite found a Capital Bikeshare bike from D.C. lonely on the mean streets of Seattle. Lost and wandering, unable to find home.
I’m guessing the bike was used as part of the promotions for the upcoming Puget Sound Bike Share – I’d seen them use the D.C. bikes in some of the staged photos, since there isn’t a Seattle version yet. It’s unclear how the bike got released into the wild, since if it was being used as an example, you’d think they’d want to keep it somewhere that didn’t require a U-lock.
