The Observer has details about the bike share program the city’s expected to start implementing next summer, including word that 10,000 bikes will be part of it and that there are going to be around 600 stations. Those stations will “stretch from the Upper East and Upper West sides down to the tip of Manhattan and over the bridges into Brownstone Brooklyn, reaching as far as Greenpoint and Crown Heights.” Alta Bike Share, the Portland-based company responsible for D.C.’s bike share program, will helm the one here; yearly memberships “should cost less than the price of a monthly MetroCard.”

This sounds great. I would definitely use this. Much easier than buying a bike, storing it, and maintaining it for occasional rides, plus the bikes will be wherever you are. Great for rides in the park, crossing the enormous expanse of Bed Stuy, and Montrose’s bike tours.
DOT created a very cool map soliciting bike share rack locations:

Fun to suggest spots and see where other people would like them, too. Enjoy!

Could be interesting, I await to see where they are placed and availability.
