Could have used one yesterday to get to work, but there were no bikes. Today there are bikes but I have no work.
It's the morning rain. There were lots of bikes available on the Lower East Side today at noon, which is not usually the case. If it rains in the evening, there might be very few bikes for the morning commute the next day. There are patterns to how the bikes move around.
