I've personally received 2 NYPD citations for running a red light on a CitiBike.
The good news is that I now stop at red lights when I ride in NYC.
The funny part is that, several times, pedestrians have reacted with shock and glee, saying things like "wow, I've never seen a rider stop at a red light!"
- CodeWriter23 9y agoI wonder if the cops can view the position of CitiBikes on their phone in real time.
- dogruck 9y agoI don't think CitiBikes have any location tracking. I think they only phone home at the docks.
- CodeWriter23 9y agoI would think discussing the logistics of recovering the bikes would be an early discussion for such a project. Sooner or later someone is going to jack someone’s phone and steal a bike. And that advertising display device on the Citibike’s handlebars looks like an easy way to implement a GPS/cellular tracking system.
