A newly-opened bike station in the heart of Washington, DC has been likened to an eye, a bike spoke and even a bike helmet. The glass-enclosed station sits adjacent to Union Station, where it makes low-impact commuter travel a reality. The station offers storage, a changing room and bike support services in a stylish and very low-energy building. The entire design was developed to make the best use of daylight and natural cooling, encourage green transportation, and demonstrate the possibilities for green building.
