Encountered my first empty bike dock today. I needed to walk a few blocks to the next one where I was able to proceed as usual. I don't know if it's a sign that it's becoming more popular or if they are slacking off on their bike rebalancing efforts. Hopefully it's the former and they will be tweaking the rebalancing to address the issue.
