I'm still confused as to why the wealthy would even want to participate in a bike sharing program.

Check out the citibike map with this map that shows the income of the areas of NYC. (DARK BLUE MANHATTAN WESTERN BKLYN)
maybe its a coincidence but they do match up nicely.

Vimeo video about an "invisible" helmet--essentially a 'personal' airbag for your head, worn as a padded collar. (Hipster-yellow suspenders not included)

Interesting idea--not sure that the bulky, "puffer"-like collar is an improvement over one of the sleeker helmets, but I can see potential.

I want those yellow suspenders!

Posted: 11/12/13 at 2:37pm

I'm concerned that you get those suspenders.

[CarlosAlberto]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 2:39pm

Why, because I'm Puerto Rican, I do not live on the Upper East Side...so you think I can't afford them, right?

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 2:46pm

I was concerned that the yellow suspenders were not helping Puerto Ricans.

[CarlosAlberto]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 2:59pm

They will help Puerto Ricans who cannot afford belts to keep their pants up.

I plan to ride my Citi-Bike into da hood so everyone there can get a close look at one and see what they are missing...and can't afford.

'Cuz y'know...I am concerned.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 3:01pm

My concerns are all undermined by the true fact that I prefer Puerto Rican men to have their pants down whenever I am in their vicinity.

[CarlosAlberto]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 3:03pm

Are you telling me to drop my drawers for you Namo?

So you're saying if I live on the UES I'm not entitled to see a Puerto Rican man with his pants down?

[CarlosAlberto]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 3:07pm

No not at all. You are most certainly entitled. That is if the Puerto Rican man in question is willing to oblige...

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 3:08pm

Whew.

[CarlosAlberto]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 3:12pm

Reg...just for you I will ride by you on my Citi-Bike wearing only my yellow suspenders.

Now, who says the program isn't a success!?

[Addison D.]

Posted: 11/12/13 at 4:12pm

The real problem with the Citi-bike program is the fact that it was so obviously designed in a way that discriminates against Christians, as this secret map from Bloomberg's deputy Mayor for Religious Persecution shows...

Thanks to the advice earlier on this thread, I managed to use CITI-Bike and had great fun, I guess the system is still working itself through with the logistics. But here is a few suggestions.

1, Have bike stations around Central Park

2, Also one at the Lincoln Center would be good too.

3, Bikes at around Times Square locations empty very quickly late evening, conversely sites not far from Times Square fill up and you can't dock your bike.

4, I would be issued a code sometimes and it wouldn't work, so I would re-insert my credit card for another code, not realizing there is a fair use, which meant I run out of credit earlier than planned.

5, Put a processing station either end of the bike station, which would mean bikes get used more evenly.

Whilst waiting for my ride for the airport at port authority, 42nd Street, I notice in the morning peak, the operators couldn't fill the docking station fast enough, as soon as 4 bikes came along from the Citi Bike agents the bikes went.

As I say the system is still working itself out and looking forward to using it again.
