We've been so busy wondering when Citibike will finally launch and how many tourists will be maimed when it does, we hadn't even thought of this. A tipster sent us this photo of the brand-new Citibike stations recently installed at 15 Cliff Street in Lower Manhattan—a luxury living environment where, according this promotional video, "indulgences and everyday necessities are just steps away."
Apparently one such indulgence (or is it an everyday necessity?) includes allowing trash to be thrown just wherever, wooo! As you can see, building management, or someone (15 Cliff Street has yet to respond to our request for comment) didn't let the racks disrupt them from enjoying their usual trash disposal process, simply heaving the garbage-filled bags on top of and around the racks for someone else to deal with.
Good thing Staten Island will get Citibike probably never—they wouldn't even be able to find it.
