Citi Bike shutting down tonight at 11 ahead of possible blizzard, non-blizzard

In case you were going to use a Citi Bike to get around tomorrow or to help transport home the pallet of bread from Key Food... here's some FYI via the CB people:

Due to heavy snow in the forecast, we will temporarily close the Citi Bike system starting at 11 tonight, Friday January 22. What does that mean for you? No bikes can be rented after the temporary closure has begun, though bikes that are in use can be returned to any Citi Bike station with an available dock.

The amount of snow and changing weather conditions will determine when it is safe to re-open. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as the nifty yellow alert banner on the Citi Bike website for updates and details on reopening the system.

But CitiBikes are a viable mode of transportation! Hashtag sad face, hashtag CitiBike.

Yes they are, 360 days a year, and probably more.

I bike through the snow. Fuck yeah.

The CitiBikes will be back as soon as they put the snow chains on the tires. While this would make most bikes much harder to pedal, CitiBike riders will barely notice the difference.

Alternative mode of transportation my CitiAss. There's always Uber for the wealthy and the tourists. Or they can just be a shut-in in their luxury living -- no need to get out while the plebs deliver them their Seamless and Amazon.
