“1000% recommend a bike ride through Central Park. My wife and I did a 2-Hour ride and it was more than enough time to get some scenery and even do a little shopping. The rental company was just as amazing. TJ was very helpful and gave us tips, do’s and don’t’s to get the best out of our time. Great experience overall!!”

“The tour guide was great and clearly doing his best, but the company dropped the ball. My bike’s chain kept coming off, and halfway through, they had to bring a replacement. The delivery person got into an accident, leaving me an too far behind the group to catch up. I missed over half the tour. To make matters worse GPS doesn't work well in the city. I ended up lost in an unfamiliar city. A leisurely tour of Central Park turned into me biking 35 blocks down 5th Avenue alone and in heavy traffic. When i got back, well after my group i was checked back in with zero apology.…”

“We really enjoyed our bike tour of Central Park with Michael. You get to see so much more of the park by bike! Michael was friendly and easy to chat to, and told us some interesting facts. We cycled at a leisurely pace through the park and stopped at various intervals, so even if you’re not a regular cyclist it’s very easy! Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go round the whole park (and particularly if you like cycling).”
