Lyft to donate 100 million dollars to the NYC citi bike system !!

Very exciting indeed. More Ebikes and the city should be adding more infrastructure to support safe cycling as well. We’re super excited about the future of transportation in NYC. More people will start to see how great it is to get around by a bike or Ebike, as many of us already do.
 
Hoping this massive investment will have spin off benefits to lower operating costs for Motivate’s other cities. For instance here in DC Capital Bikeshare is operated by Motivate and is in the middle of a CaBi+ trial with a paltry 80 ebikes added to its 4,000 fleet. Perhaps CaBi could hop onto a group discount buy from Motivate. Now DC, NPS + the neighboring local govts need to get their s*it together and legalize ebikes riding on the Potomac bridge sidewalk paths and arterial bike trails.
