Report: 'Sharknado' sequel promo shows NYC's 1st Citi Bike fatality



Earlier in the week, we looked at some statistics from Citi Bike showing that, thankfully, there haven't been any Citi Bike-related fatalities in the first year of the program's existence.

That is about to change, at least in the world of the SyFy channel. Gothamist notes this morning that SyFy has released a quick promo for "Sharknado Part Duh" (or whatever it is called) set to debut July 30.

If you watch the NYC-based sequel's promo closely, then you will spot a Citi Bike rider (on a sidewalk) get, um, Sharknadoed.

We've reached out to Citi Bike officials to see if members will incur overtime fees for being swallowed by a waterspout-propelled land shark.

Meanwhile, enjoy the trailer...

The poor guy almost makes it back to the docking station before the overtime charges kick in.

One CitiBike down, 5999 more to go...

Fabulous. Can't wait. No, really. What I'm waiting for even more eagerly is "Sharknami!" Can you see it: hundred-foot-high tsunami full of sharks, like fruit in Jello! I'm first in line...

I've heard the word before but I don't even know what the fuck a Sharknado is. Sometimes, not knowing about pop-culture shit feels really good. Ah.
