Here\u2019s another entry in the\u00a0Why I Ride<\/a>\u00a0series for Streetsblog:<\/em><\/p>\n

Stephanie had just commuted from Chelsea to her job in the Time-Life Building in Midtown, where she works in magazine publishing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a bike at home \u2013 my co-op actually doesn\u2019t allow them. It\u2019s a walk-up and there was damage to the walls from people carrying bikes up and down so the board voted to ban them from the building. My parents live a few blocks away and I have a bike at their place, but it\u2019s too far to use regularly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore Citi Bike, I only really rode around recreationally on the weekends. This is my first week biking to work. The first day I took 10th Ave up and it wasn\u2019t so great. Then I looked at the bike map and saw that 8th Ave has a separated bike lane, and that\u2019s what I took today. The protected lanes make a huge difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo yeah, it\u2019s been great and I don\u2019t know why some people are so upset about it. Some New Yorkers are so resistant to change! I\u2019ve lived here my whole life, so I still remember the uproar over the MetroCard. Overall I think people are really excited about the bike-share. On the day it launched, my parents and I rode to the East Village to have dinner. Everybody was stopping us and asking questions. One angry guy yelled at me when I was docking the bike\u2026 but I also got a few high-fives.\u201d<\/p>\n
