NEW YORK—Since its launch in late May, the city’s bike sharing system has enjoyed overwhelming success, adding support not just for the program, but also for the city’s ongoing expansion of bike lanes, which make biking safer.

NEW YORK—In the last decade the risk for serious injury for bicyclists in New York City has gone down about 75 percent, according to New York Department of Transportation (DOT).

The New York City bike share program is days away from fully launching. As of Friday morning, more than 850 Citi Bike bicycles were already docked in the grey stations that have been assembled in Manhattan and Brooklyn in past weeks.

The new, long-awaited bike share program in New York City is set to launch Memorial Day weekend, the last weekend of May, according to the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce.

New York City’s long delayed bike-sharing program is set to launch in May, confirmed by the city’s Department of Transportation after pictures began circulating of stations being installed in Brooklyn.

The reason behind the delay of the beginning of the city’s massive bike shares system is technology, according to Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
