Slow down NY! We're still trying to get bike racks in Central Phoenix. I think there's like three total. I wish I was kidding. Whoa! Slow down NY!

I notice they include one of the bike racks on the block where I live that was destroyed a year or two ago. Their data must not be very recent. Maybe the developers live in New Jersey?

I mean, they list bike racks locations for Hoboken, NJ but not one of the boroughs of the actual city? What's up with that? It would be great if we could get this for those of us in the Bronx.

In fact, cellular transportation vehicles and systems are the logical extension of the previously separate, yet highly interdependent, communications and transportation industries to provide a unique expediency, functionality, and world-saving sustainability of truly remarkable implications.

I see some BID-sponsored racks in the PrimoSpot map that aren't on the DOT map. On the other hand, I also see some DOT-mapped racks that don't show up on the PrimoSpot map.
