EVG regular Salim started taking photos of it in its various states... 
Per Salim:
It's chained to the station itself, which often has valet staff. It moved around over the weeks and gradually lost some parts (but not been stripped entirely). The bike fascinates me: why hasn't Citi Bike reclaimed it? Who chained it in the first place?
All good questions!
For anyone else keeping tabs on this... as of today, the Citi Bike is no longer chained to anything...
Updated 5:30 p.m.Someone had removed the Citi Bike carcass...

It would fit nicely in a sinkhole.
Hahahaha, perfection
Probably stolen and dumped there
In the 80’s this would have been a car on cinder blocks.
Somehow that fucking citibike station grew to take up half of e 6th st too, wtf?
@5:38 it’s called corporate gentrification, the EV will no longer be a neighborhood of small mom and pop shops that gave the EV it’s pulse but will become a corporate district. All you will see will be big glass buildings.
@8:23 but CitiBikes allow me to visit my favorite small shops
we need bike shares on every block, every corner,everywhere.
Anon. 5:38PM - And yet the posters who are always screaming about the horrors of free car parking on streets which car owners pay taxes to help maintain, have no problem with a giant corporate entity taking up block after block of street or sidewalk space for the damn bikes. Somehow, THAT'S okay with them.
Anon. 9:19AM - No. No, we don't.
There's been an ebike with a missing battery docked at 10th & C since at least July. Over the months, some of the Citibike branding has been stripped/fallen off to reveal a Bixi bike from Montreal. Wondering what the fee was to ride that down here...
I have no problem with the so-called "free car parking", a ridiculous campaign if you ask me, and Citibike. Why can't there be room for both?
