Citi Bike: W 87 St & Amsterdam Ave
About
Right on the Upper West Side, a bike-sharing station offers quick spins to Central Park or the Hudson. Citi Bike at W 87 St & Amsterdam Ave pins you between tree-lined blocks and brownstones; lock up at any rack nearby after a ride. A lockable dock on the north side of the station keeps your ride secure—bring your own chain or pay the small unlock fee at terminals around the kiosks.
No membership on the spot? Daily passes run around ten dollars with the first half-hour free; rides clock in at six minutes or less when you pedal from here. After-hours returns cost more—plan to finish before midnight if you’re just dropping it off outside tonight. Surrounding blocks feel quiet after the 7 p.m. lull, so timing your return can save a few bucks.
Manage your trip through the app; they’ll text the unlock code once payment clears. Questions? Text the number at 414-3235 for day-pass support; if you’re still plotting the route, pull up the map to see docks closer to the park gates: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2588478f18eb9:0xb30b1e75cb99818e.
