Citibikes? No Fair

[lilnyc]

I am a bit envious of all of the catering to bicyclists in NYC, especially with this new Citibike program.

Citibike has bike stands with a row of bikes for the public. You rent it, then once at your destination, you leave it at another Citibike stand.

Each time I am standing at the bus stop (because NYC is not Segway friendly), I think, "What about Segways?"

I don't think public rentals of Segways would be wise, but I am referring to the city not legalizing the use of them while further catering to an influx of bikers.

These riders are everyday people in business clothes without helmets (usually) nor safety gear in city traffic -- not on bike trails nor in bike lanes. So how is that safe? Why can't I glide to work without worrying about getting a ticket?

It's unfair in my opinion.
