NYC PABT Commuters

Side note, I'm having zero luck getting a citibike when I get in these days.
7:15-7:30, there is nothing in an 8-block radius of PABT.
Not sure what happened to the valet at the parking garage.

Samesies near Penn. It really sucks some days. On the days I miss the last midtown direct to Penn and go into Hoboken, I get off the PATH at 9th street cause there's better luck finding one there than near Penn. Even this morning, at 7:10am, I got the last one at Penn, and the "valet" coral was empty. WTF???
 
always wondered what you do if the coral is full, are you sh#1 out of luck? and need to hunt for an empty spot
that's one of the reasons I like the coral-less setups. Leave the bike where ever you want.
However that also creates its own problems....

That was one of my issues with citibike. At least a couple of months ago, plenty available in the morning but after work... no empty corrals.

You guys need to get a POSS 😛

Yeah, I took a little break from citibikes for a bit, and when I got back to it the pabt morning valet at the parking garage had disappeared.
Can't wait until January when it's no problem getting a bike.

Technically I think there is a way to flag for an extension if you need to find a spot. But with the annual membership, you get 45-minute rides, so you usually have time to find a spot.
Aside from actual availability, the latest version of the app is pretty damn slick.
The map auto-toggles to show available bikes or corals, depending on whether you have one or are looking for one.

I'm regretting saying this... less parking space for me! Lol
 
Can't believe someone stole the plastic bag I tied on the saddle... AGAIN!
Now my saddle is wet.... 😡
 
I stopped using CitiBike cause because of the 5 times I couldn't find a bike or parking. Spending 15-20 min searching/walking around .. might as well walk to my destination. Now I bring in my own bike.
