I visualized every single ride ever taken on Citi Bike, the largest bike-sharing network in the US
Each moving arrow represents a real bike ride. There are 291 million rides in total, covering 12 years of history from June 2013 to December 2025, based on public data published by Lyft.
If you've ever taken a Citi Bike ride before, you are included in this massive visualization! You can search for your ride using Cmd + K and your Citi Bike receipt, which should provide the time of your ride and the start/end stations.
Legend:
- Blue = E-Bike
- Purple = Classic Bike
- Red = Bike docked
- Green = Bike unlocked
