I have a great idea! The city should subsidize bike share services for residents. Why? Well, if you live here you know that the subway and bus is not always the best way to get around all the time. Citi Bike prices have risen beyond reasonable.

Come on Ho-Ho-Hokul, start thinking or someone call Cuomo and get his butt back.
