I can’t say enough good things about the Citi Bike Share.

I’ve taken 28 trips in the 1.5 weeks I’ve been using it.  My ride home from the gym is 8 minutes versus a 20 minute walk.  I explored more of the city in one day than I ever would have been able to before:  Chelsea for Coffee, Tribeca to the Whole Foods, over to Soho, back home, then back from dinner.  We’ve only gotten to a completely empty station once.  And a few times the bikes didn’t check in immediately.  But I’ve seen bike share trucks 3x now and talked to an ambassador just making sure everything was working well.

I’m a big fan of the helmet, which isn’t great for the hair.  But I don’t want to crack my head open on the sidewalk.  My favorite place to bike?  The dedicated bike lanes on 8th and 9th Avenues and through the West Village.

Just a few shots of us over the long Fourth of July weekend and the sites we saw.  And the places we stopped to eat.   And yes, the Antelope tacos were DELICIOUS!
