Manhattan Bike Share Pedals In

The city of New York will soon be home to over 10,000 blue bikes, as CitiBike pedals in to America's largest city.

For an introductory rate of $5, the May launch will see six hundred stations spread out across Manhattan and Brooklyn, making it North America's largest bike share program.

Its not clear how locals will feel about this new transit option, or how the city's notoriously fractious drivers will handle yet another layer of complexity to the city's crowded roads. Picture the city in August with 10,000 extra tourists riding all over town, helmetless and lost, paper maps flapping over the handle bars or squinting at their smart phones, and it could be a recipe for disaster.
