Lot of this. Most bikehsare rides in NYC are quick one-way jaunts like this.

Anecdotally, I know a lot of women who ride bikeshare bikes for the 5-6 blocks it takes them to get home from the subway in the early-sunset months as a safety precaution against sexual harassment.

This must be a niche use case -- there aren't docks every 6 blocks or less

I mean they're not evenly distributed according to a perfect pattern or anything, but there's generally a bike within an avenue and a few streets.
