Citi Bike: Columbus Ave & W 59 St
About
Citi Bike is right by Columbus Avenue and West 59th Street. A short ride from Central Park and the theater district, it fits neatly into Midtown West’s cycling rhythm. Those passing through can pick up or drop off any time—no sign-up required at some kiosks. Casual cyclists often stop here before heading south toward 57th or north toward 72nd.
The address puts you at New York, NY 10019, where the Hudson River Greenway begins its long curve west. Early mornings reveal commuters gliding toward Midtown offices; evenings bring couples along the waterfront path. The station sits one block west of Broadway, a block north of West 59th, and a couple blocks south of the 59th Street–Columbus Circle subway hub.
Include the phone once as a practical detail: 855-245-3311 is the line printed on most station maps. Weekend sightseers sometimes call ahead to confirm dock availability before biking west to Riverside Park. The same number covers toll-free assistance—especially useful if a helmet lock or pedal feels stiff.
Use the map (https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c25858c71ee6ab:0xa6243a06443f74c9) to choose the shortest route from Penn Station or Grand Central if you’re coming from farther away. After locking your bike, cross the avenue and grab a coffee on 59th; by then the Hudson breeze makes the ride worthwhile.
