New Citibike Stanchions

East Villagers were very excited recently to find a new type of stanchion installed in local Citibike stations!

The new stanchion is different from the old in two important ways: 1) the key is inserted horizontally, instead of vertically; and 2) when the bike is released, it rolls back slightly, eliminating the necessity of having to release it by lifting the seat up and back!

Here is a picture of the new stanchion, outside the beloved Yuca Bar on East 7th Street:

Bike sharing just because easier… in the East Village Today!
