Emily lives in the East Village and commutes to Midtown. She was riding to work for the first time. Before becoming a Citi Bike member, she never rode a bike in New York.<\/p>\n

How do you commute to work when you\u2019re not riding?<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually I take the subway into work or I walk. I usually do a lot of walking so having Citi Bike as an option helps me save time while still being outside. I also hope biking will help me save money by not having to pay for bus or subway everyday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from work commuting, how do you think you\u2019ll use Citi Bike?<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely plan to use Citi Bike in my free time. On Monday I rode over to the West Village for breakfast. I also rode over to Brooklyn to meet up with some friends. It was dark by the time I was ready to head home so I took the subway instead. It was great to drop my bike and not have to worry about getting it home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Any technical problems?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first day I had some issues with my key not working. I was on hold with Citi Bike for an hour but once I was able to get through the service rep was very nice and helpful and was able to reset my token.\u201d<\/p>\n

What has your experience been like as a very new rider in New York City?<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a little intimidated the first day. Mostly afraid about cars not seeing me and getting hit. My boyfriend also has a membership so it was helpful starting the adventure together. Only took a day before I realized how doable it was. Bike lanes definitely help. And there are so many Citi Bikers on the road!\u201d<\/p>\n
