They have been used as resting places and makeshift gyms. They have also helped inebriated people get home and helped a mayoral candidate navigate the city.
Now, Citi Bikes are popping up on wedding days.
As reporter Matt Flegenheimer writes today:
In a conspicuous sign that frustration is giving way to acceptance, the public bikes have been welcomed into that most personal corner of civic life, the wedding.
At times, they have assumed the role of post-ceremony, honeymoon-bound transportation, missing only a “Just Married†placard on the back wheel. Photographers have compiled small portfolios of two-wheeled work, as the bikes have begun to appear, Waldo-like, in the albums of couples in reception regalia. And for those who have crossed the Atlantic to be married in New York City, accompanying snapshots of the bikes have become a must, joining Grand Central Terminal and the Brooklyn Bridge as oft-used backdrops.
We here at CityRoom would love to hear your Citi Bike wedding story.
