SO NYC Citibike rental norms?

[Anonymous]

After reading very long thread about the PA/ kids bike rental dispute. I realize I have no idea what the norms are in NYC for renting Citibikes. There are probably other norms I am oblivious to as well.

Can someone who knows more provide coaching for us suburban tourists who plan to visit NYC this summer?

What is considered “snaking” rental bikes?

Are there special considerations when visiting coffee shops or small restaurants?

Are there informal line standing rules for street food or sidewalk bag sellers?

Does the stand right on escalators apply in the subway?

Are there priority seats in subway we need to spot and stay out of?

Are there different playground norms as in lines for the swings?
