Cleanup of Citibike Stations
I am a Bike Angel and Co-founder of NYC CLEAN Volunteers. We often clean out Citibike stations as part of our neighborhood cleanups because litter gets trapped and rarely gets picked up. Facebook.com/groups/nyccleanvolunteers. I posted a before and after photo from a chronically problem area at 28th and Lexington on our FB page.$144 a Year for Divvy
$144 a Year for Divvy, and without exaggeration, the system, and bikes are in the worst condition since the program's inception. Just saying. Not sure how the Paris bike share system, Velib, could apply to here, but the app is more robust, and their lightweight eBikes are fantasticLet's get to know each other a bit more!
Hello Bike Angels! My name is Sef and I work on the Bike Angels team, tinkering behind the scenes with many of my great teammates. We are super excited to be launching our Bike Angels Community and even more jazzed about adding all our Angels and riders in the future. As we grow the Community we want to incorporate your ideas for what would make this a helpful and fun space to check out. So always be open with what you want to find in the Community and we will see if we can make it happen. To get started, we want to get to know YOU. What got you excited about Bike Angels in the first place? What keeps you riding today? What is your favorite leisure trip when you aren’t hustling for points? (extra street cred for photos of your favorite spot or ride) Post your answers for the questions above in the thread so we can all get to know one another! P.S. We had an open bug where when you logged out the site would remove your profile picture, but this is fixed now. As you introduce yourself be sure to add a profile photo to your account. Looking forward to getting to know you all!Divvy. Disorganized System.
So... I'm picking up an un-docked eBike, and, at the same time, the battery change truck wanted to swap out the battery Explaining it would only take a few minutes at most for the reset, and wanting to, "help out", I agreed. Twenty minutes later, the bike finally reset, and when I tried to unlock, the bike went out of service. That was May 29, and the bike is still there, in the exact same spot, right out in the open of a busy street (photos). Out of service, and abandoned Divvy eBikes are left in many places of the city. The numbers I'm seeing must have an effect, on the system. Divvy Angels need a cash for points option and a incentive to redistribute working out of dock eBikes Thank you
Collection Complete !
Welp. This completes the collection for now (I think). It's been a fun ride and a great journey. I will continue to utilize Citi Bike for my daily commutes and look forward to any upcoming rewards down the line, the system sure has come a long way. Thank you to much to Jess and team for being so persistent and making sure I got all my rewards in. See everyone out there!Happy New Year 2024 Bike Angels !
Here's to a Happy New Year to all the Bike Angels out there and especially Jess and team who's been striving to resolve all our problems and making the experience better. (I still haven't gotten my bag but that's a story for another time lols). Anyways, keep racking up those points and I have faith that the system will continue to get better. Overall, my experience has been good/great aside from maybe 2-3 issues throughout my decade long membership. I hope others are enjoying it as well as Citi Bike has become quite an important and entrenched way of life for most of us in our commutes to work/school, etc. See you all on the road!
