Citi Bike expands to Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens
With Citi Bike’s headquarters located in Sunset Park and a new flagship operations facility opening in Gowanus in August, Brooklyn has slowly but surely become the heart and soul of the citywide bike-sharing program.
The service has 600 stations spread out across 55 neighborhoods, including Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Red Hook, Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
The system has grown from 6,000 bikes to 10,000 bikes since its inception in May 2013, and another 2,000 bikes are joining Citi Bike’s fleet in its next expansion.
