Almost became NYC’s latest bike death statistic on McGuinness tonight. Wish I had a camera. Had to jump on the median with a Citibike to avoid a drag racer. How soon can we do something about this, @EmilyAssembly & @LincolnRestler?
Additionally: @lyft and @CitiBikeNYC deserve blame for their pathetic balancing lately. I wouldn’t have been anywhere near McGuinness had there been a single open dock anywhere else in my neighborhood.
(The 1 open near me was a @CitiBikeNYC tech who already was holding 2 additional bikes, said he couldn’t take any more in his van.)
By the time I got to the 1 open dock at Huron and Franklin, that was also full. @lyft and @CitiBikeNYC, fuck off if you aren’t interested in maintaining your service.
@cdohertyk Hey Cole, we're sorry to hear these frustrations! We are working hard to make sure the system is rebalanced. Take a look at our most recent blog post about it here: ride.citibikenyc.com/blog/ridership…
