Pedestrians beware. More bikes on sidewalks, going wrong way on one-way streets, going through traffic lights. The city is not a great place for bikes to coexist with cars and pedestrians.

once new yorkers begin to adopt european cycling practices, it will be a more breathable, sharable city.

until then, then yes, there are a lot of obnoxiously ignorant bicyclists out there, but i still welcome citi bikes coming to our neighborhood.

Oh, wonderful. Something else to take away even more parking space in the neighborhood.

Are there any options for those that don't have a credit card, are lower income, or can't afford to take a potential $1200 hit if a bike is stolen or damaged. It seems disenfranchising.

I am also tired of cyclists riding the wrong way, not observing traffic signals, and riding on sidewalks.

# of people killed, maimed, seriously injured in Brooklyn by cars, trucks, buses in 2015?

# of people killed, maimed, seriously injured in Brooklyn by Citi or other bikes in 2015?

And I own a car, and if it means THAT much to me to find "easy" parking, I'd pay the $$$.

Whol told anyone they get a "free" parking spot when they moved here?

Granted, I'd love to revike the ** ILLEGAL ** curb cuts some schmucks made but the city seems disintereted...
