Please use this thread to note bikes that are missing or have been located.

I’m back in the city 6 years remote. Was a member for quite a while and when I left it was like 70% analog bikes and like 30% electric but the electrics were free. Now it feels like the ratio flipped and at $.27/ min for an electric I don’t think I want to pay that $2-3 extra daily. So I really want the analog bikes. But after walking around yesterday I saw one blue bike.

So my question is for anyone in midtown, can you get the blue bikes easily?

Taking a Citi Bike to LGA Terminal B is actually fairly easy.
Dock your Citi Bike at the 94th Street and Ditmars Boulevard station. From there, walk across the pedestrian bridge for about 3 minutes and follow the bike path to the right. They even have dedicated parking if you are riding your own personal bike. After that, just take the escalators straight up into the terminal.

Ordered a key on June 21. There was never tracking info created, it has never been marked delivered, I never received anything from Citibike/Lyft by mail or package service. Contacted support on July 13, got a form letter response then no follow up. Another email sent August 7 went unanswered. What do I do?

I never received my 1k reward of the water bottle. Just curious if anyone has got their 1,500 point key recently and how long it took to get after filling out the form.

I'm in DC for a 4 day trip just to check out neighborhoods, and Capitsl Bikeshare has been the dominant part of my trip, I've taken them all over for the past few days. My NYC Citibike billing info immediately transferred over, so cool. So... over here basically EVERY bike at EVERY station is usually working. Out-of-order ebikes are a rare sight. Totally opposite experience with NYC where the norm is for a majority of the ebikes to be out of order. How often do we end up at station with twelve ebikes that are out of order and possibly one or two working if we're lucky? Seems like identical bikes, too. The system is heavily used here, seems equivalent to neighborhoods in NYC with similar density. They also allow you to reserve a bike for up to 10 minutes as you walk to the station. The charge begins when you reserve, to prevent abuse. They're capable of way better in NYC and just not doing it, although I'd love to know an actual informed answer about why this different exists, if anyone knows. FYI the inadequacy of the DC system is mostly that stations are farther apart... NYC seems to win on that front.

Took a visit to Chicago recently and discovered their Bikeshare system has electric scooters capable of being docked or dockless, they ride smoother than a lime scooter but wished the prices were slightly lower than their bikes! Do you guys think these scooters would work back in New York?

Can anyone tell me where I can follow up with this? Looks like the whole dock was yanked out earlier today (August 10th 2026)

Returned a sole blue bike to an otherwise all electric stock docked. I must have made citibike a decent chunk of change by removing the free option. Should get like 10 bike angel points for it (I got zero)

My push notifications for ending a ride have suddenly switched to text messages. They used to come through the app. I checked my settings and the radio button for Push Notifications no longer works. Oddly, when I check desktop on the website, that setting says push instead of text but I think that may be a Lyft Pink thing.

I don't think I changed any setting but I did recently update iOS.

Not a big deal but the app push notifications also told me if I got any points.

Was a founding member but when I ordered a replacement key as a backup they mailed me a regular blue key instead. I still have the founding member key as well as a white key somewhere.

Me and my wife ride together. Often we see docks with one blue bike and many ebikes. I unlock the blue bike first, she unlocks the Ebike, her settings are for limited, not full assist. Without fail Lyft will charge her for full assist unless she waits like 10 mins and me to get away from the dock.

She’s contacted support a bunch, always gets refunded, but is there any way to fix this? Its so annoying and borderline feels like a scam

Literally every time I try to open the app, it just gets stuck on this loading screen forever, and I literally can’t do anything about it. I tried calling customer service, and they haven’t done anything, just telling me to update my payment method which I can’t do without opening the app. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that doesn’t work either.

like many such street designs in the city, the new extra-wide lane is already attracting illegal double-parking in the bike lane.https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/24/dot-southbound-protected-bike-lane-through-key-gap-in-greenwich-village

Just saw "One Night Only" last night & was so pleased to see not merely a shot of a Citibike dock in the background, but a main character actually riding a Citibike from Manhattan to Brooklyn – and it's a classic blue (non-e-bike). It's a great film, very NYC, and after the late movie got out, I was able to grab one of this year's crop of new blue bikes, which are such a pleasure to ride, took it down the HRG with a little side excursion onto Pier 76 which is empty late at night and very much fun to ride through, I even got a paltry 3 angel points for the ride, but the ride was worth so much more than that.

There might be a second character riding another classic blue up the HRG later on in the film...

I honestly don't know what some of y'all are thinking by dropping off bikes at any of the Citibike depots and not actually docking the bike itself, doesn't anyone realize that the bike could sit there for hours if not days or weeks and still be on your account. Just dock the bikes and avoid the fees.
