Just as Capital Bikeshare added thirty-six docks to four stations this week as part of a broader expansion plan in D.C. and Arlington, Baltimore is planning its own bike-sharing system.

According to the Bike-Sharing Blog, once the Charm City Bikeshare system is operational in spring 2012, it will have 250 bikes in 30 stations serving downtown, the Inner Harbor and Fells Point. (In comparison, Capital Bikeshare currently boasts 1,100 bikes at 110 stations.) Yesterday, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced that the bike-sharing system will be run by B-Cycle, which operates a similar system in Denver.

Baltimore’s bike-sharing system was supposed to have launched earlier this year, but it was put off due to concerns over costs.
