Currently in my early 20’s, thinking about moving back, I am Hispanic, I lived in the neighborhood when I was younger , and I remember it being a lot more of my people, but from what I’ve heard…. It’s changed. Is it still diverse, or no. And are the current residents nice or…. Everyone’s secretly a bigot. Are there any bars you’d recommend just so I could get a feel of the vibe. I don’t mean to offend anyone if they felt offended just trying to inquire about the neighborhood.

So I as an avid angel point rider see one major flaw in the system. For context I use the angel point solely for riding my bike to and from work, about 10 minutes in each direction , so 100 minutes a week (ebike of course). So the major flaw I see, is e-bike distribution… the reason I don’t distribute them evenly is due to the fact, I need to waste ebike points in order to gain points, but moving it from one location to the other, given traffic plus any other inconveniences, I lose more ebike time than I gain. Not only that, my work neighborhood in particular flooded with e-bikes, I can literally count how many open parking spots…. 6…. Out of about 24 STATIONS!! So in reality it creates 2 problems, less open spots and less e-bikes in certain areas.

The fix up- The way I would fix it, in the app there should be a commitment service for E-bikes, they temporarily let you use the ebike at full assist, to get it to an empty doc. With a time limit. That way regular users of e-bikes can have more at there local stations, Citibike saves money in hiring movers, plus gains more if e-bikes are located at popular locations, and the angel rider gets to do a public service plus gets some ebike points…. To quote Micheal Scott “Win, Win, Win”. Do you Citibike could implement something like this?
