Citi Bike Ad Urges Riders To ‘Hit The Promenade’ Where It’s Against The Law To Ride A Bike

This dispatch just in from a BHB reader concerned about the message included in a Citibank ad on the Citi Bike kiosk on Hicks and Montague Streets:

I just saw the information sign next to the Citibike rack at Hicks and Montague…There is a list of things that you could do while riding your Citibike…Top of the list is “Hit the Promenade”…I have always been under the impression that bike riding was not allowed on the Promenade…What is going on here?

Yes, it’s totally against the rules to ride a bike on the Promenade. We’ll assume that the ad’s intention was for users to “hit the promenade” responsibly. Right?

    Their signs; maybe no-riding rule was made with community input (not sure), but I think it’s standard for park paths, including the Promenade. (I’ve ridden it in the past, because of the sweet view. I stopped, tho’.)
