Safety and Modern Experiences
“We think about what are features that really allow someone for the first time to ride a bike really easily,” Citi Bike General Manager Laura Fox said.
The bike also includes new “safety features,” the spokesman said — if the bikes detects “anything abnormal,” it will stop functioning. (New York Post, 4/29/2022)
How You Can Enjoy Them
On May 5th, 2022, these new bikes will join the fleet and be ready for customers to enjoy. Not a member? Not a problem! The program allows new customers a 15-day free trial so they can participate from their phone at any of their bike change stations.
