Just How Convenient Are Citi Bikes?

"New York City is the greatest place on earth -- but living here is a huge pain in the ass," says filmmaker Casey Neistat in his short documentary.

And what makes it oh-so-painful? The simple task of getting from Point A to Point B.

Neistat put New York City's new bike sharing program, launched on May 27, to the test. He conducted a study by commuting to work using Citi Bike, taxi and his personal bike, then evaluating each experience by its "pain-in-the-ass factor."

The verdict: The Citi Bike isn't such a pain, after all. Actually, Neistat liked it so much he signed up for a yearly membership. Watch the YouTube video above to see why.
