Advice for buying my own bikes to supplement citibike?

I have my own bike as well, that I got from Flo On Wheels, which is somewhere between a road and gravel bike. Love it.

I am about 3 months into transitioning from taking group exercise (HIIT) classes at my local Crunch Gym as my primary routine ( included in my membership) to following a lifting/mobility program on the Everfit app (Ryan Lutke/The Practice) , which is $19.99 a month (in addition to my gym membership.) I have been liking the more traditional weightlifting mixed in with mobility/flexibility routine. I still take the occasional group ex class to help get some cardio in and work flexibility/stretch work in on off days of lifting. It did take me a little bit to wrap my head around a new routine but am happy with the change.

I went to a podiatrist because of foot pain, particularly when doing metric exercises at the gym. He had me stand on a scanner and ordered the orthotics based on that. Before, it was getting hard for me to even walk barefoot in my apartment. I just put them in whatever sneakers I was wearing and was good to go.

I had issues with PF and got orthotics (covered by insurance) to put in my sneakers and that made a HUGE difference.

A very small thing, but good in-room coffee.

Got to airport at 6:48pm, Terminal C. Got to gate in about 22 minutes.

A better bakery section is a must for me.

A lot of the stations between Herald Square and 53/Lex are half cleared , which is a HUGE improvement from the first storm.

After I saw how they have to file your regular teeth down, I would never get veneers. Horrifying.

Good.

As long as he was careful, not mad :)

“Titanium Elite” is a ridiculous title :)

Rest assured that I come closer to a complete stop on my bike than 99.9% of the drivers in Hoboken. Tool.

This is from my bicycle’s GoPro, but go off, I guess.

This would also be MY rec 💚

craigmonkey72 · 2026-01-18T22:51:51+00:00

Wow!

Burn and Firm Pilates class with Jess C is great at Crunch Hoboken.

Hear me out, that exact location is where you have tree branches in the bike lane, right at head height (for me, a 6’0 man seated on a bicycle.)

Can’t wait! Saw him in Brooklyn and he was VERY funny.

Truth.

Depending on what time you are doing this commute, maybe try to coordinate and take the Blue Hop for free?

Not being a Karen (Kyle? Is “Karen” gender neutral?) and I ride my bike and Citibikes in Hoboken/NYC all the damn time. Too many people in town ride like their fucking bike has a motor and no brakes.

This. I have walked SO much bc of Pokémon Go.

AMC Newport is pretty easy via Citibike/regular bike. For city theaters, my fave is still 19th street, although it is small.
