Get ready for an amazin’ ride.
In a first, 50 Citi Bikes will be decked out with Mets logos to kick off a month-long sweepstakes.
Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson will announce the contest — which allows one lucky winner to throw out the first pitch at Citi Field against the Washington Nationals on Aug. 2 — at Central Park South and Sixth Ave. Wednesday.
To enter, Citi Bike riders must find one of the Mets-themed bikes and post a picture on Twitter or Instagram using #CitiBikeSweepstakes.
Other prizes in the contest, which runs through the end of July, include Mets backpacks, hats and other memorabilia.
“I’ll definitely be using Citi Bike more,” said fan Nate Baskin, 26, of Manhattan. “It’s always been a dream of mine to throw out the first pitch for the Mets.”
Other New Yorkers weren’t so excited. “I can’t do it. I’m a true Yankees fan,” said Carlos Nunez, 32, of Manhattan.
Ed Skyler, executive vice president for global public affairs at Citigroup, said Yankees fans have other options .
“If they have a philosophical objection, they have a pretty good chance of finding another bike,” he said.
Skyler, a former top aide to ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg, once threw out the first pitch at a Mets game as a reward after he foiled a mugger who stole a woman’s BlackBerry.
