Friday, December 7, 2012 NYC to Launch the Nation’s Largest Bike Share Program in May 2013 Despite Damage Caused by Hurricane Sandy The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) and bike share operator New York City Bike Share (NYCBS) today announced that because of damage to bike share equipment caused by Hurricane Sandy, Citi Bike will launch in May 2013 with at least 5,500 bikes implemented at 293 stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The revised timeline was agreed to by all parties and will not impact the $41 million in private funding from Citi to underwrite the system, and with NYCBS profits to be split with the City during the six-year contract. Hurricane Sandy’s storm surge flooded NYCBS’s facility at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which sits along the East River, and where about two-thirds of the system’s equipment had been stored before the Oct. 29 storm. While portions of the system’s equipment were not significantly damaged, including bike frames and hardware, many parts of the system containing electrical components must have individual parts refurbished or replaced. NYCBS is currently working to identify, repair and replace these damaged parts, aided through insurance and supplemented by equipment that wasn’t stored at the Navy Yard, as well as by additional equipment from its supplier and from elsewhere in the delivery pipeline.
