I see them often, there are a number of stations around here, and I think that's great.

I live near Ninth Ave which actually has a dedicated bike line. While waiting to cross recently, I saw 6 bikes, including 4 Citi Bikes, pass down Ninth. I think that's great.

They only adjustment I have had to make -- which is not Citi Biki specific, but is enhanced because of the additional bikes -- is to remember to look for bikes when I am crossing against the light. But that's my responsibility.

I'm not enamored that they have 'Citi' all over them or use the bright Citi blue. But that sponsorship means that public funds don't have to pay for this program. I'll take that tradeoff.

After my road trip I've developed a new attitude towards cyclists. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 09:22 4
- Why? There seem to be way more bad drivers than bike riders. -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 09:27 2
  - I rarely see a driver run a red light. I see it all the time with cyclists. -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 10:37 1
    - I will say that's a particular bad habit of cyclists that needs to stop. However, most cyclist behaviours are from trying to adapt to how crazy - Reagen Oct 20, 11:19
- yeah, the ones around here seem to forget that they are on bikes and not in a tank... -- nm - Beaker Oct 20, 09:24
I think they're ugly and I have the large advertising but I'm with you that it's something I can deal with knowing it's not costing the city anything - Krusty Oct 20, 09:20 1
