Brooklyn’s service really got hammered by the Jan 21-22 snowstorm. The Washington Ave & Greene Ave station in Clinton Hill, which is No. 1 on this week’s list, was empty for 93 hours. Clinton Hill had not previously made the list.
Of note
- We haven’t come across any story that sheds light on exactly how the Bixi bankruptcy might impact New York’s bike-sharing program. Here’s the story from Forbes magazine.
- We’re suffering the most out-of-service stations since the New Year’s closures around Times Square -- seven out of commission at this writing. In the Garment District, four Broadway stations -- at W 36, W 37, W 39 and W 41 Sts -- were pulled from service starting Thursday and continuing. Near Union Square, Greenwich Village’s W 13 St & 5 Ave station remains closed because of the water main break. The Village also lost Sullivan St & Washington Sq for a time on Thursday. Two Bridges lost the Catherine St & Monroe St station for several days.The Fulton St & Rockwell Pl station in Fort Greene was shut down starting Monday.
Bicycles available
This week we recorded a new low.

How to read the charts
What’s a NotSpot? A NotSpot is a bike-sharing station that is empty or filled at the time we conduct a survey.
What’s a survey? A survey is when we peruse the data provided by the official map and the data provided by a map produced by the Center for Advanced Spatial Analysis. We conduct two surveys daily, Monday through Friday. We do not survey on weekends.
About the rankings: We rank the Top Ten NotSpots by neighborhood. We take the total NotSpot hours produced by all stations in the ‘hood and divide that by the total number of docks there. The "hours per dock" is as close as we can get to a common denominator.
