Visualizing the Boston Hubway Bikeshare

http://youtu.be/6PlHZJ3hhlI

10,467 trips are shown, on a Wednesday through Sunday time period in late September 2012. Blue dots represent "starts", where a person picks up a bike. Their movement is interpolated in relative time based on their start and end time and location.
