(Updated at 4:14 p.m.) It’s possible to snag a Capital Bikeshare bike at two more stops along the busy 16th Street corridor.

The D.C. Department of Transportation announced that its new Bikeshare hubs near the intersection of 16th and Irving and 16th and R streets streets NW officially came online earlier today. (As a point of clarification, we should note that there’s been some hubbub about whether the station is actually located on nearby 15th Street NW. According to Bikeshare, the station’s address is 3101 16th St. NW)

Cyclists and cycling advocates applauded the new stations earlier today on Facebook and on Twitter.

@ForsterDC @bikeshare Thanks Bikeshare, hooray!
