New Seats

As I wrote about in a previous post, East Villagers love their Citibikes. Recently, there's been even more to love.

The seats on the bikes have been showing quite a bit of wear in their first year:

My seat from this morning.

They weren't uncomfortable, but when it rained, the material beneath the cracked layer absorbed water, and when you sat on the seat, the water was squeezed out, resulting in wet pants.

Recently however, the Citibike people have been changing the seats:

Also from this morning.

The new seats are a bit thinner, and not as comfortable as the old ones, but at least they won't crack.

Hopefully!
