The city is rolling out a big bike share program that will let New Yorkers rent bikes from docking stations and then return them to other docking stations near their destinations. The program is expected to start next summer, but before then the Columbus Avenue Business Improvement District is letting people try bike sharing out at a temporary docking station on the corner of 77th Street and Columbus Avenue on Oct. 30 from noon to 4 p.m. It’s free and it’s healthy and you absolutely do NOT need to wear spandex.
The city has also launched a website asking people where they think the stations should go.
In related news, Upper West Siders appear to be warming to protected bike lanes, but there are still lots of complaints.
