NEW YORK—As spring and summer approach, a series of community planning workshops will be held in the coming months, to decide where bike share stations should be placed in different neighborhoods.

A bike share exhibition ran at the Center for Architecture from Jan. 16 to Feb. 4 to familiarize New Yorkers with how bike shares work around the world. It also revealed previously vague aspects of the planned New York system, such as price structure.

However, the location of systems, said event attendees, could be problematic for several reasons.
