Yesterday we took a ride over to Washington Square Park to demo Citi Bike, the city's new bike share program expected to launch sometime this month. After a few spins around the park on the heavy but surprisingly smooth ride, we caught up with some other bike-curious folks and had them weigh in on the program. We've already said our piece on the prices and you know we're on board with helmet safety (though question the viability of it being regulated), but click through and see what others have to say! There's still no word on the exact launch date but people are clearly impatiently waiting.
