This wraps up Dmitry Gudkov's series of bike-share-themed “Why I Ride” profiles on Streetsblog. Thanks Dmitry! From here on out, it's just random chance if the subject of a "Why I Ride" post is smiling next to a Citi Bike.

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.
