I take BABS (Bay Area Bike Share), the equivalent system in and around San Francisco, which is similar in nature to the Citi Bikes program. In fact they use the same bike model. I have 2 bikes of my own, but it's more convenient to hop on any random bike and drop it off without having to bring a lock. Sometimes I also want to go somewhere to meet people and then we walk or take the train/bus back. I live in SoMa, where most stations are, and I rarely walk anywhere these days since BABS is more convenient, and more fun. The only complaints are that all stations are around SoMa and the financial district (being addressed soon) and that the bikes are too heavy, about 40lbs which is a problem in a hilly city.
