People Riding Citibikes From Manhattan to Bay Ridge Can’t Find Parking Spaces in the Docks!
Brooklyn cyclists are complaining that it is impossible to park Citibikes in Bay Ridge because the racks are almost always full.
They open the Citibike app and find only a few empty spots on the Citibike charging dock. Meaning: Very few people in Bay Ridge are riding to work on Citibikes.
Cyclists have complained to Citibike Rack Support many times (1-855-BIKE-311), but the situation has not improved.
When this happens, Citibike is supposed to manually redistribute the bikes or give bike angels points to cyclists who move bikes to other racks. But Citibike isn’t doing either of those things!
Some Ridgites are trying to negotiate a dock spot with other Citibike users in the area:
What a mess! NYC should hold Lyft responsible, but they won’t because the lobbyists win in Bay Ridge. (Andrew Gounardes made a video for Citibike, even though he uses his car to get around and go to work).
