You mean you started on Divvy and ended up riding your own bike? I'm impressed.

I see a lot of people on Citibike who look decidedly NOT like bike people. And this, I feel, is a wonderful thing. How much is membership? Here it's something like $150 per year, which is absurdly low. In fact, I feel sorry for the bike shops, because this artificial rate has hurt them.
