I visited my daughter in Brooklyn on Sunday night. They don't live in the Citi Bike service area, but I didn't want to spend over an hour on the subway going home, so I walked about 35 minutes to the nearest Citi Bike docking station and then rode the 7 miles home from there. It was a lovely night, and spending it underground didn't seem like a good idea. I was rewarded a bike in good condition with a NuVinci continuously variable ratio hub. The bikes are tanks, so I have to be careful not to pedal too hard and tire myself out. My walk was along the edge of Prospect Park, and I see a raccoon at one point and a pair of raccoons at another point! Overall, it was a long trip, but it was very pleasant, which included crossing the East River on the Manhattan Bridge.
