Score one, Citi Bike naysayers: The first bright blue bike has somehow been filched before the program even launched. According to the Post, the thief managed to make off with the ride as workers were delivering a fleet to Kips Bay rack around 6 p.m. yesterday.
The crew had been busy placing a load of the $825 rental bicycles into a rack at Second Avenue and 25th Street, and had not yet locked them in place when the thief struck.
Workers realized a bike was swiped only when a passer-by shouted out.
There has been plenty of gleeful speculation that Citi Bikes will be pilfered en masse and thrown in the East River before members even get their key fobs. While the locking mechanism has been described as "pretty much bombproof," we're certain that New Yorkers are still clever enough to find a way of destroying the bikes. Why should we have nice things?

$825 BIKES ..WHERE MY NYC CATS AT ? , I CAN USE OF THESE DOWN HERE

Gonna be a lot of dead bodies in the streets of NYC. Riding a bicycle in NYC is not a good move if you're a tourist. Splat!

I truly hope this Citi-Bike idea goes the way of the dinosaur.

This dictator of a Mayor we have has done everything imaginable to make this city more like Europe than New York. All because of the tourists' dollars.

Those bike stations are an eyesore and a major inconvenience.

Nothing but some transplant/tourist/hipster shit.

They are not worried about people stealing them to keep them. Like the article says, they are worried about people stealing them to intentionally tear them up or throw them in the East River. Some people just don't like it when others have nice things.

That's why this Mayor has added hundreds, if not thousands of bike lanes throughout the five boros.

Actually not bad, whenever im in nyc, id rather ride my brothers bike(we r both big bike afficionados!) around town ,gr8 for sightseein the city and learning the neighbourhoods but def also sightin shorties in spring/summer. some nites i dont wanna ride a bike into the city then worry about a few drinks then crossin the bk bridge, or if i pickup something nice then i lock the bike and take a cab home , now i can just ride into the city lock and go party and not after worry about comin back to da city to pick said bike up!

[knightmelodic]

shit, all those bike lanes they put in downtown and bk, it pays to ride a bike. sucks if you drive because you have one less lane

biking in nyc is the shit tho

like everything else, people will steal them until they move on to something else

They need to pave those fucking bumpy ass streets instead of adding bike lanes. Driving through manhattan thought my car had hydrolics

that's guaranteed employment for DOT

you ever notice when they're out there one guy is working and four guys are watching him?
