Just recently canceled my annual membership. The bike quality has degraded so hard over the past year. Almost every bike I checked out as of late had some issue ranging from cut up seats, messed up brakes, dented/banged up/defaced frame, and most annoyingly, just being super hard to pedal and get up to a decent speed without exerting a ton of effort (when I did occasionally get a “good” bike, the difference in ride quality was night and day)

Plus 9 times out of 10 it took attempting several different bikes before I was even able to undock.

I just purchased an e-scooter because I'm absolutely sick of the declining Citibike quality as of late. It has definitely gotten worse in the past few years.

There are so many broken/busted bikes and issues with docking/undocking. 9 times out of 10 I have to try multiple bikes at a dock before it lets me take one out. Plus, the vast majority of bikes lately take so much effort to pedal and get to an even moderate level of speed, it's just absurd.

Hearing about this price increase is just further icing on the cake. I'm canceling my membership as soon as my e-scooter arrives.
