Citibike recently put out an article about their efforts to manage the bike levels across the city. If you haven’t been playing along at home, by around 8am all the docks in the area (and most other residential areas across the city) are completely empty, and then in the evening many are completely full, so cyclists can’t return the bikes.

The main part of their strategy to manage the levels are the vans they have to move bikes between docks, and this morning they were out in force:

As good as it is, it’ll never be enough. The van had probably 20 or so bikes in it, but half an hour after they left they were all taken again.
