As a new user, I am becoming familiar with this problem. I took a bus into NYC this morning, arriving at about 10:30. It was hard to find an available bike. I had to walk from the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 40th St to 31st St to find a bike. Parking wasn't a problem on Bank St near my home, though I've had trouble finding available slots.
How come I have trouble docking the bikes? I shove it in hard or gently, and the slot doesn't acknowledge there is a bike. Is there a special technique?
