Nope.

She is on the bike. 20 second later, he uses his phone to unlock the bike (you literally hear this happen on the video, and when the video starts the bike is clearly locked into the dock and it's only after we hear it unlock that it pulls back). So she's on the bike BEFORE he puts it on his account. There are other bikes available, there's no reason he needs that bike. She was going to rent it, she was on it, he takes it from her.

She accuses him of trying to hurt her fetus because he is physically pushing her off a bike (that was available to rent and which she was presumably in the process of renting before he came up and started pushing her off it). He is being very physically aggressive and she's pregnant.

She pushes into him. He only moves towards her briefly after she takes his phone. He's not physically aggressively in the slightest.

At the beginning of the video, she is sitting on the bike. He is leaning over her, holding the handle bars of the bike AND blocking the QR code (which is in the middle of the handlebars) so she can't scan it. He stays pressed up against her the entire time.

That is extremely physically aggressive. That is not a normal way to interact with a stranger on the street.

Has anybody tracked down an interview with one of the bike guys or any of the witnesses?

Meaning she is already ON the bike when he unlocks the bike.

Meaning he is trying to take the bike she is sitting on, and does so by scanning the QR code while she's sitting on it.

He is trying to bully her off the bike that she is in the process of renting, and he has the backing of three other people to help him do it.

She is crying because these guys just forced her off a bike she was renting.

People saying "why is she making a scene while they are calm?" Uh, because she is being pushed/bullied/berated off of the bike she was renting. They are calm because there is safety in numbers and because they are confident that they can simply call her racist. If she cries, they can point and say "fake tears." They are calm because they have the upper hand.

She looks to be maybe 5 months pregnant. These guys bullied a woman who is visibly pregnant and leaving a shift at a hospital off a bike. For no reason, as there are other bikes available. And they recorded it and posted it on the internet and are now claiming she is weaponizing white tears and calling her a racist.

I'm a liberal who supports affirmative action and DEI programs, has never voted for a Republican, and volunteers with an organization that does poverty outreach.

Those guys ganged up on a pregnant woman and are now trying to spin it like she's the bad one. Disgusting.

Oh, I guess this scenario is possible too. He may have scanned the QR code earlier but not have completed the transaction until she was sitting on the bike.

Does the bike make that sound when it’s undocked, or when the transaction goes through?

It all happens at once. You scan the QR code and then the bike is released from the app.

He had not reserved, paid for, or unlocked the bike when she got on it. He does it after she is sitting on the bike.

He took the bike from her.

Which is why the friend says “you’re not getting this bike.” Because they are blocking her from taking it legally. Not blocking her from stealing.

I hope there’s a security camera that got the whole thing from the beginning. If I were a pregnant woman who got on the bike but hadn’t completed the rental transaction and multiple men came up to me and said that the bike was already rented, I, as a reasonable person, would have hopped off the bike and rented the one right next to it. Everything about her reaction is off and yes, she was fake crying.

Good. Even a superficial investigation will show she was the victim of bullies. Glad she’s getting some unpaid time off out of it.

I wouldn’t tolerate this bullying, pregnant or not.

At the beginning of the video his arm is in front of her, blocking the the QR reader, but he's not leaning one her at all. She moves towards him, trying to push him away, and then they look pressed against each other, but that's all her doing. She then snatches his phone briefly but he gets it back and goes back to standing while she slams her body against him. She is the physical aggressor.

Well I’m not sure about how the rules of “possession” work for Citibikes. If he had already scanned the QR code but had not clicked on the link yet to complete the transaction, then she may have been in the wrong to think she could take possession just by sitting on the bike. I certainly don’t sit on the bike while I’m doing the app, so I guess there is a scenario where someone would knowingly or unknowingly try to “take” “my” bike by sitting on it after I had already scanned the QR. Then I could unlock while they were sitting on it.

Anyway it sounds like it’s a mistake on both sides, most likely.

So you think they forced her off the bike but still think she's unreasonable because her response was not "oh, okay, yes I will move since you physically intimidated me into doing so"?

Ok.

Because you were scared of them? The bike wasn’t rented yet. It wasn’t rented until she was sitting on it and he completed the transaction for a bike she was sitting on.

Likely for her own safety due to the crazy internet mob.
