Bike rentals at Busy Bee

[Bobby Williams]

We've been writing about the upcoming Smurf Bike Citi Bikes share ... we meant to note that Busy Bee on East Sixth between First Avenue and Avenue A offers one of the above bikes — $30 for 24 hours...

Better deal if you ask me. What's the security deposit? $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000? F Citibank

You're right. $30 for 24 hours vs. $90 for 8,760 hours is a much better deal.

Apples to oranges. The Citibike thing is bike sharing for commuting, it's not exactly renting. The program hinges on short-trips, otherwise there won't be bikes available when you need em. Citibike even tells you to rent from a shop if you need a bike for an extended time. I'm not into the program myself but I'm willing to concede that it does at least make sense.

This pricing structure makes more sense. Perfect for a day trip.
