This news isn't a surprise -- Citibike stations are, right now, in higher income neighborhoods for the most part. And I'm sure the credit card requirement is an issue for some folks.

I've seen several rather lame stories about Citibike -- made me wonder if the program is going so well that reporters can't find much to write about.

Nonetheless, I am glad attention is being paid to this particular issue, and I hope efforts to get the word out in public housing are successful. It will be interesting to see what happens when the program expands to more neighborhoods.

ETA a superb example of one of the lame stories:
