Riding Away From a Bar Crawl With Citi Bikes

Casey Kelbaugh for The New York Times

The blue bikes are late-night alternatives to the subway or a taxi.

By SHEILA MARIKAR

It started as a normal date night: Shawn, a bearded graduate student who favors lumberjack plaid, went to Williamsburg for dinner and drinks with his girlfriend. But instead of taking the L train from their Chelsea apartment, they decided to ride Citi Bikes there and back.
