New York's Citi Bikes' first month visualized

New York’s Citi Bike program, modeled on Paris’ Velib and others has been a success depending who you ask. What’s also interesting is that all of that rider data is available and the New Yorker popped it into the above illustration (Check their interactive to control the knobs). From the images you can see the general influx into Manhattan from Brooklyn and back during the commute as well as the migration to the West Side during the 4th of July fireworks.
