The company also uses vans. Citi Bike angels walk or run to the next station, sometimes in a circuit going from full station to empty station and back. A friend of mine has a son who made it to the top of the leaderboard as published by the app. He was working as a dog walker so the dog would trot along side him as he rode the bike and then trot as he walked back. He was in very good physical shape. It seems like a decent way to make a living as well as build condition.

I was signed up to participate in the annual NYC Century Ride but I was swamped with work so I skipped it. Very sad. In late afternoon, I took my fixie across town and got a haircut. The 3 mile round trip was my ride for the day.

This morning I figured I might as well take my fixie again to work. I carried it up the stairs to my office on the 4th or 5th floor. That's more vigorous than the ride. I think I might not take my regular commuter bike up the stairs anymore since it's pretty heavy and my bag is heavy, too.

Rat count: one old (that has been there a while) and one freshly dead one.
