To the naked eye, W20167 is just another apple-red Capital Bikeshare bike, but Dupont Circle resident Mike Azar, 29, knows better. By crunching publicly released data by Capital Bikeshare, Azar identified W20167 as the hardest working bicycle in the Capital Bikeshare fleet, logging 483 hours during 1,567 rides last year.
“That’s a lot of rides — about 130 per month, compared to the average bike’s 86” says Azar, an instructor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, who posted his findings on his blog.
The data on W20167 show that the James Brown of bikes has spent a lot of time circulating between some of Bikeshare’s most popular stations, including Union Station, Dupont Circle, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. It also went on some epic rides, including one that was nearly 12 hours long.
