Why Deborah Rides
"My whole family rides bikes, my kids have been riding the Citi Bikes too. The only problem is, we don't have docks on the Upper West Side yet, so I can't use it for commuting. But it's been great for other small trips around town. I'm about to meet some friends, we're all getting bikes and going out to eat.

“This is actually my first time riding in my normal clothes, we’ll see how it goes!”
