Take on those hundreds of broken Citibikes

It's been a few months since the Citibike rolled out all throughout
the city. After a few months, a ton of glitches, a number of
logistical nightmares, it seems they might finally be making some
progress with the program. The problem is that now it's the bikes
that are giving out. Every time you come up to a docking station, you
find -at minimum- three red lights indicating dead bikes. So although
it appears that some stations have availability, they really don't.
Even the ones that are 'working' all have issues. The gears are
messed up, the tires are flat or the handle-bar is off. I take the
bikes once or twice per day and this week along I had four bikes which
were busted or force me to ride now-rider style because the seat
doesn't come up. What once was a great idea, is quickly becoming a
total nightmare

Time to step it up, Citibike

  1. In San Francisco, the bicycle riders, pedestrians, and bus takers are the worst people in the world. They think they own everything and seriously seek out reasons to tow your car, scratch it, or ticket it. And even the car drivers drive like the worst, most hesitant, most pathetic drivers on Earth. Accidents waiting to happen.

    I hate San Franciscans.
