NYC Bike Share Program Now Accepting Sign-ups

The CitiBike system will begin in May.

 

Enrollment in the city's new bike share program is now open and accepting membership applications.

Although there will only be one station in Prospect Heights in CitiBike's first phase—at the Barclays Center—there is also one at Fifth Avenue and Dean Street and several in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill within a block or two of Atlantic Avenue. See a map of Phase I stations here.

The program is set to begin mid-May.

NYCHA residents, age 16 and older, as well as members of Community Development Credit Unions are eligible for a $60 annual membership, provided they enter a discount code.
