This is one of my favorite places to see films, especially because they also hold talkbacks and interviews frequently with top artists.

Mondays are the hardest day to get a bike… Something about the weekend has all the bikes migrate downtown on Sundays. By 9 am forget it. Citibike is full of crap. This is a 7 day a week problem on the UWS.
Right now they are failing native New Yorkers. There was more money to be made that way than on annual NYC subscribers using the bikes multiple times a day to ride a few blocks here and a few blocks there on a commute or errand. Hence the continual price hikes on the annual rate. I love citi bike. Another point: CitiBike creatively attempted to address the reallocation issue by instituting the Bike Angel program.
Unfortunately the program has become simply a game for a select number to try to rack up points and earn free membership. These folks one of whom I spoke to literally rides around at least an hour a day from dock to dock in order to earn points. It contributes nothing to the actual needed reallocation. I used the bike share extensively in London and there were the exact same issues — and stations are much farther apart.
Nature of the beast. More people fit on one subway train than the entire number of docks on the UWS. Do the math. Citibike cannot expand without claiming more UWS real estate.
In addition to spaces along CPW, Citibike has stations on side streets off that avenue, 72nd and elsewhere from 57th to Harlem. New York Post City Limits. NEWS 72 comments permalink. Keith Schwebel says:. August 12, at pm. Elana says:. Jim says:. Dolores Del Rio says:.
