This great video by StreetFilms gives some highlights of the debut of CitiBike in New York City.

StreetsBlog noted the contrast between differing media views on the debut of the bike share.  I prefer the point of view of the New Yorker!

StreetsBlog also reported on interesting research showing that public support is lowest (opposite: NIMBYism is highest) at the implementation of a new project.  This suggests that public support for New York City’s bike share should make a steady climb as people realize how much better it is than driving.

Meanwhile back in Salt Lake City, where bike share was inaugurated six weeks ago, I continue to use GreenBike almost daily.  Since the start of the program, I have made 88 trips for a total of 127 miles and am currently number 3 on the leaderboard for both trips and mileage!
