Citi Bike Could Expand to 86th Street This Summer | Streetsblog New York City

Is it possible, could it be, that we'll get bike share up to 86th St. this summer? Will I be able go to the museums without hauling my own bike (since I ride a Brompton without a lock, that pretty much doesn't work)? Given how these things go, I won't hold my breath, but here's hoping.

I wonder how much backlash there'll be when they bring this to the community boards. The cries of doom and destruction and blood in the streets that happened when the first stations went in will be muted, but I wonder how much NIMBY obstructionism there'll be. Also, there's no decent route downtown from the UES, which might be a bit of a problem.
