Citi Bike is New York City's bike sharing system. Intended to provide New Yorkers and visitors with an additional transportation option for getting around the city, bike sharing is fun, efficient and convenient.

A bike sharing system consists of a fleet of specially designed, sturdy, very durable bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations sited at regular intervals around a city. The bikes can be rented from and then returned to any station in the system, creating an efficient network with many possible points and combinations of departure and arrival.

With thousands of bikes at hundreds of stations, Citi Bike is available for use 24 hours a day, all year round. The station network provides twice as many docking points as bicycles, assuring that an available dock to return your bike is always nearby.

Citi Bike is operated by NYC Bike Share LLC, an affiliate of Motivate. Motivate is a unique company focused solely on operating large-scale bike share systems.
