I only went over 45 minutes once, and I was fined only 45 cents. I seem to recall the fee was ten dollars before ?
The first four bikes had NuVinci , and the fifth one was a classic.... it shifted between first and second gear according to its own will, as if demonically possessed...
The CitiBike app gives the rider a timer, so you can see the elapsed time since the bike was undocked.
Great weather today, considering it’s January 26th!
I couldn’t go much further north, there are no CitiBike stations past a certain point.
Is that the new fee? I've been over by one minute once in a while and the last one time was roughly a month ago and got billed $2.50.
As for going above 125th st, when the weather was warmer, I usually take the scenic route to work, which is unlock a bike at penn station, go straight to the hudson river greenway and head north, reach the 125th st dock and dock/unlock to reset the timer, head north again, pass GWB, down the traversing ramp and head up inwood hill park until 20-23 minutes is up (depending if I encountered head or tailwind), then turn back and dock/unlock at 125th st dock again, then ride all the way down to the oculus. Its probably a 1h30min ride, but with 125th st the only stop point, I still have dock twice even though my 1st and 3rd legs are only 20-30min long.
