Bicycling
Another great Capital Bikeshare visualization
Starting at 12:06, Greater Greater Washington contributor Veronica Davis, WABA head Shane Farthing, and Arlington bike planner Chris Eatough will talk about bicycling in DC on the Kojo Nnamdi Show. Listen live or catch the archived audio once it's posted this afternoon.
They also posted this video which visualizes a few days of Capital Bikeshare trips:
This is yet another consequence of Capital Bikeshare's excellent decision to provide anonymous trip data. People have done all kinds of useful things with the data, like MV Jantzen's similar video and interactive visualization tool.

Though the visualization says "Active Bikes: 18" even in the middle of the night, I'm not sure this is accurate. You can see a few of them moving extremely slowly - going from one station to another over the course of many hours. I would guess that this is because of errors in checking bikes back in or something like that.
That said, even way late at night there's a trip or two every hour. Not that surprising, there are tons of people in this city and if you ARE out and about at 3AM, what are your options? Metro is closed, buses and taxis are few and far between. CaBi is actually really reliable at that time of night!

I have taken CaBi late at night multiple times. Getting from my buddies place in Adams Morgan to U St Metro is WAY quicker via CaBi than walking.
Think about the waiters heading home, etc.
