Just wash your hands and try not to touch your face. Any virus that is on the bike isn't going to walk up your arms and down your throat. Personally I find it pretty easy to not touch my face. I doubt I am perfect at it but I catch myself a lot.

Being outside has to be better than in an enclosed space (a subway car) holding onto handles that dozens of people touched in the last hour.

I mean, by the time I'm gone from a citibike to a place where I can wash my hands, I've had to touch a lot of other things. It's not like there are sinks directly next to the citibike stands.

Then you should wash them at the first chance and avoid touching your face. The only way to be safe here is to seal yourself into a room and avoid all exposure. Since that’s probably not possible the next best thing is to just do the best you can.

I'm not saying it's a good idea but it's totally possible for a lot of us.

The company I work for has sent everyone home until next month and you can have groceries delivered over the internet here.

Carry some disinfectant with you. Covid19 is easily killed by alcohols.

Maybe use hand sanitizer
