Citi Bike

Manhattan rental cycles

Citi Bike is a bicycle-sharing system in New York City, allowing users to rent bikes from docking stations throughout the city for short trips.

The blue bikes have become a fixture of urban transportation since launching in 2013: I took a Citi Bike across the bridge.

The name comes from its sponsor, Citibank.
