The coffee shop’s door proved slightly less germy than a Citi Bike handle
In an episode of Gross by Men’s Health, the magazine’s editor in chief Matt Bean uses a handheld device to measure the germ-count on some of New York City’s dirtiest surfaces. Test results show that the most bacteria lives on Citi Bike handlebars, which prove to be 45 times more germy than subway train hold-bars. The second most disgusting surface turned out to be Starbucks door handles — ahead of a self-help internet kiosk, taxicab door handles, and a doorknob at Grand Central Station.
