The New York Post continues its track record of fine reporting on New York's bike share program with this exclusive. Stephanie Smith and Natalie O'Neill 'report' that "[t]he catwalkers of Victoria’s Secret wouldn’t be caught dead on a Citi Bike — telling The Post that cycling is best kept indoors and off the scary city streets."

“'I don’t like the mix of buses and taxi and bikes altogether. Who’s going to get hurt? Me!' Alessandra Ambrosio (center) said Wednesday during a cancer-research fund-raiser at SoulCycle studio in the West Village. 'I’m just a little concerned with safety, being on a bike with crazy cars in the middle of the street. I like sports away from traffic,' she said."
