Citi Bike: 8 Ave & W 16 St

A bike-share station sits on Eighth Avenue between 16th and 17th Streets. Citi Bike: 8 Ave & W 16 St anchors Chelsea’s cycling grid. Riders can grab a bike and zip downtown in minutes or loop north toward Hudson Yards. The dock sits on the western edge of Flatiron’s spillover, giving Midtown West a pedal-powered escape hatch.

Across the avenue from the elevated No. 1 train, the station gets early commuters rolling before the office crowd thickens. By noon it’s a rotation point for lunch deliveries and afternoon sightseers heading to the High Line. At dusk the same dock glows under sodium streetlights as riders coast back from the park. You’ll find it built into the sidewalk at New York, NY 10011.
