Visualizing CitiBike Share Station Data

Probably. The New York system uses the same technology and operator as the DC system, which has been around for several years and has released lots of data. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/13327/capital-bikes... is a blog post about the DC system's initial anonymous data release.

DC's bike share has anonymized ride data available here: http://www.capitalbikeshare.com/trip-history-data

The regular map isn't too great either:

That's right. Light blue for spaces available, dark blue for bikes available. This is what happens when you let your branding trump your user experience design. :P

(I mean, aside from color selection, the thermometer-style idea is neat, but I'd prefer a system that highlights the absolute failure conditions because it's kind of hard to tell the difference between 1 bike and 0 bikes...)
