In today’s newsletter: a Capital Bikeshare pioneer, a very loud IndyCar race and a birthday boy at the National Zoo. Earlier this summer, D.C. resident Andy Jarrin decided that his short jaunts on Capital Bikeshare — the region’s red rentable bikes — weren’t enough. “I had seen people post their longest rides ever on [New York’s] Citi Bikes and Capital Bikeshare, and the rides didn’t seem that long,” he tells NOTUS. From what NOTUS can gather — and Capital Bikeshare tentatively confirmed — Jarrin’s ride may stand as the single longest continuous ride on a non-electric Bikeshare bike. The Capital Bikeshare network started in 2010 and has since expanded to include more than 8,000 bikes and 800 docking stations across the D.C. region.
