NYC Bike-Share Subscribers Vastly Outnumber Weiner Voters

Here are a few fun facts about turnout in yesterday’s NYC primaries, framed in relation to the number of annual NYC bike-share members.

As of primary day, there were 79,532 annual Citi Bike members. That’s equivalent to…

about 30 percent of the votes amassed by the leading Democratic candidate, Bill de Blasio

about 40 percent more than the total number of votes cast in the Republican mayoral primary

two and half times the number of votes cast for Anthony “ribbon cuttings” Weiner

Clearly, the all-powerful bike lobby is just getting started.
