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 under the NYCBS Data Use Policy.
If you've ever taken a Citi Bike 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.
Also, everything is open source! https://github.com/freemanjiang/bikemap

I’m using Mapbox + [deck.gl](http://deck.gl) for the visualization, and all my processed data is stored in parquet files on a CDN, which DuckDB WASM queries directly using SQL from the browser.
More details at [bikemap.nyc/about](http://bikemap.nyc/about) and in the repo!
