CitiBikes are a Pain in the Ass

- i was not hired or paid by anyone to make this movie. i made it because i was curious about the program. i did, in fairness, send it to the NYTimes and they loved it but were forced to reject it due the to gratuitous use of the word ASS. i was unwilling to remove the profanity
despite the title of this film, which mirrors my initial experience, i do really really really love citibikes. more bikes means less cars (ideally), more active commuters, quieter city and generally a makes this place more civilized. i don't think i'll buy another bike, after this one it's citibikes for me. also i did sign up for a 1 year membership, even though i own a bike, just incase i am ever in need.

When UA-cam videos were Higher quality and less then 10minutes... Good old daya
Yeah good times
The video is 720p.
Shut itِ
Theclueguy 338 Mate what is your problem?
As much as I wanted to feed into this, I gotta say. LOADS of high quality videos, that are still under 10 minutes exist. Only difference is instead of being buried by Kids videos back then, they're being buried by dozens of insufferable teens (Teens whom are insufferable, not that all teens are insufferable) and adults only appealing to teens.
Repeat the test with the boosted board and uber now 👌
City bike would probably still win because boosted board are expensive and you have to learn to ride them safely in a busy city like NYC and users are pricey like taxis
'Expensive' isn't enough
yes pls do this
Add a penny board as well.
+geo laz ubers tend to be cheaper than taxi and will come right to your door. Don't know about how it works in new york though
Option 4: Walking. It's 1.3 miles! Cost $0, and the increase in health saves money.

Why wouldn't walking be the control? 1.3miles is totally walking distance, and it would have bee about the same time as a Taxi, plus, FREE.
Yes but wastes a bunch of time.
not really, 1.3 miles walking at 4mph is roughly a 18 minute walk
funnymakeslifesunny Yes thats 18minutes that he doesn't have or could be doing something else. Considering the boosted board takes him less than five
Not to mention he can shower at the office, run the way there, 7-8 minutes at his pace haha
lol, running 1.3 miles is a cinch! Most people should be able to do a 7 minute mile easily. He looks fit so I'd give him about 10 minutes. It's a good source of daily exercise and you won't be skipping "leg day" at the gym! Plus I find that actually running is much more interesting than looking at a treadmill screen the entire time.
I love how he truthfully adds in he average amount of time before the bike gets stolen. 😂. It happens though.

its crazy how this video is 10 years old and the citbike process has been simplified heavily such as just scanning a qr code and if you have government services you get a discount and how now there are electric varients, which make it even faster. This video does age really well considering citibike has a heavier presence then it did 10 years ago lol
Unfortunately, the non-electric bikes have become exercise machines with tons of pedaling resistance. Also, scanning the QR code is slower than using my key and there are QR scams with false or nonworking QR codes. Also Lyft's customer service, ugh.
@@leov666always try and get the newest looking bike and spin your wheels and make sure they roll smooth and frictionless as possible. And check anything else before renting a bike.

Why not just buy a more comfortable bike?
i think it will get stolen
+Ifraah Abdullahi more confortable doesn't mean that it will look nicer or be more expensive, he just got a shity fixed gear, not a big deal to make a bike more confortable than that.
+Fred eric wonder how he paid $300 for that crap
+EoRdE6 300$ for a bike is nothing. I paid mine 3000€ (Yeti MTB). You can find expensive fixies but 300$ i think is ok for a bike that have great chances to get parts stolen.
+Fred eric Not everyone has your budget. My bike was just under 1000CAD and if it were stolen I'd be crushed. Could not afford to buy another one like that for months.
Never mind boosted board
***** True, but I never saw Casey ride one of these after this video
Bike?
Thats because he has no need or use for them, as he said in his description, he did actually pay for the annual fee just so he always had the option.
came here for this
I managed to find myself in a rabbit hole of old videos by Casey.
Honestly, it’s kinda nice rewatching these like it’s the first time.
I only realized this video was 10 years old after watching it. I’m in awe of the quality.
Wait, your commute is only 1.3 miles and you're looking for different ways to commute? You're a healthy guy you could just walk. It would only take you 20 minutes to walk your commute. Imagine all of the money you'd save. I walk for my commute and it's 4 miles round trip. It's actually pretty easy. I wear a parka when it's snowing, and I wear a rain coat and use an umbrella for the rain.
Time is only free if you dont value it
absolutely spot on
make a new video with boosted board. this video is 3 years old
Edan Lazarus yeah crazy
Lol, as you've mentioned yourself: the style of your videos is very consistent (love it) ever over this 9 years of time difference!
Today I did my occasional bike commute to work (currently like once a week, used to be more). It is slightly over 30 miles per round trip. That took me a bit over two hours today. Doing that by public transport would save me ~ 10 minutes, but cost me about $20 (still pretty decent IMO). I would not get any exercise from that though.
Doing the same by car would maybe reduce it overall 10 minutes if I would park at a premium location (read tens of $$) plus of course fuel + vehicle write-off. I say 'maybe' because traffic might be so that there is no reduction at all or even a big amount of extra time spent in frustrating stand still jams.
My commutes are on a second hand 'MTB type' bought in 2018 for ~350, with now about 11.000 miles on it since then. OK, 2 new tires, 2 new chains and one new sprocket etc since then ... Still under 500 🙂
Watching this in 2020 and you realize how much Casey's style has been consistent!
Feels like I was watching an ad.

How much did citi bike pay you to do this ?
or how about buying a decent bike and not a hipster shit like a fixie
Get a lock numbnuts
Nitrojet6 someone could break the lock
Nitro do you not get how bike thieves do it? They lock over your lock and come back at like 3 am and cut your lock and just unlock theirs.
Pretzelsz ya or they unload a can of butane upsidedown right into the lock part and hit it with a hammer once or twice good and hard and the metal shatters since it's so brittle by then.

I am always a big fan of your video editing skills !! But truly you are Barney Stinson of 2013 at that time
1.3 miles that is only about a 25 minute walk
You should walk to work.... and take the taxi on extremely bad weather days. You are only one mile from work.
~20 minutes / mile. Twice a day. Multiply that up. Contrary to what you might hear, walking won't make you lose weight, or make you fit. Yes, keeping your body fit is important, but walking is the least efficient way to do it.
Especially when we are this short on time at this time and age.
Losing almost an entire hour each day seems like a huge deal to me. Even more when life is this short. (Yeah I just wasted a minute by typing this down. Oh well.)
xir Krisztian Kovacs Walking is meant to strengthen your body. Cutting back on calories is the only way to "lose weight", as if that were the issue. You are looking at this as a loss. I look at it as an hour you can spend in the world you created for yourself. Look around you. Don't like it? Move on. And it only takes me 15 minutes to walk a mile, if I mosey.
***** I took the data off from Google, I walk faster than that too. I spent commuting from home to work for a long time, before that I had uni where I did walk ~6-7 miles a day. Not that's a lot, my father did much more in his times. But still, I missed the time that was lost.
xir Krisztian Kovacs I don't think you should ever "miss" time. You should instead enjoy it. I think you missed an opportunity for joy. It is also a stress reliever, just getting out an appreciating what is around you. Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy it.
My problem was the lost time and the time to think. The boredness it gave me. I became more and more tense, overthinking every little bit of thing and I could do nothing but keep walking. It's not my sport. | I do enjoy doing it with a buddy or girlfriend (taking long walks), but it's not a sport I would do alone. Hiking and anything is fun... with people.
One of these days Ill be watching all his videos again. I like to start my day like that.
I found this so interesting for some reason lol Casey’s good at that😎👌🏻

I do use city bikes a lot and I live them but if you're on a schedule, is not the best choice. Even if you have the app, on a busy day you might not find an empty spot to return them or you won't even find the bikes in the first place. So if you have an important appointment, you'd better not depend on city bikes.
Our city just started this bike program and you can leave it anywhere you want, doesn't have to be a designated place. I see these bikes everywhere I go! For us, finding them would be more of a challenge, but parking them is a breeze!
Skip to 2016 citibike's are now 14.95 a month, $155 for a year pass
+Jeremy Foster rip off..
+Jeremy Foster Well, it's still cheaper han $300 a year for a bike. But i think the cheapest way to bike is to have your own bike with an insurance anyway(dont know bout usa but thats a cheap solution in germany).
Jeremy Foster Valencia's system, which has stations every minute of cycling or so (even less sometimes) is called expensive here in Spain and it is like 35$ a year plus 10$ optional insurance lol. Used to be like 25 total.
Casey: Takk about taxis and bikes
NYC Metro: and I’m took that personally
This guy needs to start making documentaries... by time we’re outta covid he’ll have his wings

I had almost that exact same commute for two years, except I lived in Tribeca and went to school in the village. I found skateboarding to be the least pain in the ass option. Sure, biking was a bit faster, but by the time I carried my bike down two flights of stairs and found a safe place to park it, it actually took longer.
It used to take me 6 minutes to take a city bike across the park to school every morning. Miss those days.
The pedals never stop spinning because it's a fixie. Try turning your back wheel around to get a freehub.

This has got to be the most fkn accurate NYC video I've ever seen. I am crying laughing!! Everything you said is TRUE!! My life... and Citibike actually won me over. I would have never guessed it.
New York City is not the greatest place on earth. Not by a very long way.
***** Obviously you haven´t been to Paris. NYC is an overprized hispterish/yuppie Sex and The City commercial with some cool parks.
***** Pablo Podhorzer Wikipedia states NYC and London as the only two Alpha++ cities in the world - unsurprising, as they're almost identical. It just depends on which you prefer.
Edward Kwong I visited Paris a few months ago for a conference, and I found the centre and the Latin quarter to be lovely, but it is not so different from London.
It really is subjective, although London just overtook Paris as the most visited city.
There are other places than cities.
Why would u spend 80 on a lock
Joseph Banks without a lock your bike is worthless
Have you ever been to NYC? I'd rather pay 80 bucks for a lock so it wouldnt get stolen as quickly as it with a cheap lock
Joseph Banks thief's
Rule of thumb is that you should spend at least 10% of the cost of your bike on a bike lock. I personally know of several ways to remove a cheap U-lock, and several ways to remove a cheap combination cable lock, and I ride bikes, not steal them.
Cat From The Future lmao u sure about that
new rule of drinking game whenever casey says 'pain in the ass' ,you drink last person who survives the drinking game wins
Casey being the ever-hustling entrepreneur he is, I'm surprised he hasn't made a television commercial promoting the CitiBikes in exchange for his own, personal, never-pay-again ride.
Before the boosted board and everyday 7 mile running. Bad old times...
1:58 i thought that it's very easy to find a taxi in NYC. they're everywhere!
according to gta iv they are everywhere!
Depending on what borough you live in. In Manhattan they are everywhere in the other boroughs, they are there but there aren't as common.
They're always there when you don't need them but never when you do.
I had exact same experience in London with Santander bikes. Thought they were a pain initially but as I learned to use them, were very easy to use.
Watching this full and realising it was a advertisement is a pain in the ass .
casey: taxis are a pain in the ass because it costs 5k every year
also casey: 20k plane seat definetly a win
But he got that plane seat for free
Casey, could you compare CitiBikes to a dockless bike system?
Like Obike in london, for example.
Same
I love how he didn't start the test with any preconceived notions and adjusted his evaluation as he went on..
We got those bikes in Barcelona two years ago with the same system. And they are great to move around the city.
