Biking in DC just became easier with SmartBikes

Leave your walking shoes at home and instead pack your biking helmet. For only $40 a year, you can now bike around DC on a SmartBike. The bike stands are located throughout DC (Logan Circle, Dupont, Shaw, Foggy Bottom, Downtown, etc.) and will undoubtedly expand as more people discover the service.

Renting bikes is very popular in Europe. Tourists can bike down the Champs-Elysees in record time or students can sleep in and still make it to class on time. Hopefully this will provide an alternative for tourists in DC, finally putting an end to the segway tours and help people take off a few inches in the process.

Apple Store Comes to Geneva

The next time you visit Geneva, expect to see more white earphones around the lake and on the trams. Geneva will soon be covered with apples. No not from apple trees but by apple computers and ipods. Apple is opening a new store near Globus department store on Rue du Marcher – near the Old Town area of Geneva. As an American in Geneva, I can’t wait to see more people walking with a beat in their step listening to their new ipod or sitting outside at starbucks with a new mac air notebook.
