New York City cyclists are in for a two-wheeled surprise.
Mayor Eric Adams, Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, and Lyft announced plans today to expand the popular Citi Bike program into new neighborhoods across Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.
Beginning in fall 2025, Citi Bike will expand west of Flushing Meadows Corona Park in northeast Queens, further to Norwood and Riverdale in the Bronx, and Brownsville, East New York, Kensington, and Bay Ridge in Brooklyn. The expansion will add over 250 new stations, bringing 2,900 new bikes into service, with around half being electric bikes. City officials project that the expansion program will serve over 900,000 additional New Yorkers.
