New York City's Bike Share Skips Many - WSJ.com

While New York City's nearly two-week-old bike-share program already is among the largest in the world, it's passing over neighborhoods where nearly 90% of the city population lives.
The solar-powered docking stations and the nearly 6,000 stocky blue Citi Bikes are located in Manhattan below 59th Street and selected neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Vast swaths of the city—including Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, most of Brooklyn and much of Manhattan—are left bikeless.
"It's obvious that it's well needed," said Samuel Thiam, owner of the Maison Harlem restaurant in Harlem, where the nearest docking station is miles away. "I ride bikes myself, and I think it should be all over the city."
