Sweet! I wasn't sure if this data was going to be public or not. It's a little odd that some stations are abbreviated "st." while some spell out "street"

I wonder if anonymized ride data will ever be available for consumption. It would be interesting to see an animation of bike movement throughout the day.

  Probably. The New York system uses the same technology and operator as the DC system, which has been around for several years and has released lots of data. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/13327/capital-bikeshare-releases-anonymous-trip-data http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/13327/capital-bikes... is a blog post about the DC system's initial anonymous data release.

  The regular map isn't too great either: http://citibikenyc.com/stations http://citibikenyc.com/stations That's right. Light blue for spaces available, dark blue for bikes available. This is what happens when you let your branding trump your user experience design. :P (I mean, aside from color selection, the thermometer-style idea is neat, but I'd prefer a system that highlights the absolute failure conditions because it's kind of hard to tell the difference between 1 bike and 0 bikes...)

We built a visualization for Tel Aviv's municipal bike service (django, d3, tempodb, mapbox, tilemill, tilestache, etc.): http://telostats.com http://telostats.com (warning: hebrew). Sadly we don't have anonymized ride data, but we do have bike station info for each station over time. Lots of good use we can make out of that.

Check out Toronto's system. It's fully mapped & bike availability can be viewed based on location: https://toronto.bixi.com/ https://toronto.bixi.com/
