Enjoyable if a bit hectic - The price for all day was very reasonable for 2 bikes. They were comfortable and easy to ride. The only part I didn't like was that we were smack in the middle of an estimated 30,000 riders in a bike tour the shop didn't happen to mention was going on. It was quite intimidating for an older couple that hadn't ridden for awhile. But once the tour cleared it was a lot easier. All-in-all, a nice time and the only realistic way to take in the entire park in a day.

Disappointing - The bikes rented from the Rentbike.nyc agency at 117 58th Street are far from being new and in good condition. The adjustment of the saddle by the person handing over the equipment is not at all suitable, much too low, we do it ourselves. Even more so, as we pass in front of the agency of the same rental company located at the very entrance to Central Park (near the Plaza hotel) and there, the bikes are much more recent and therefore in better condition.

Just OK - Bike rental was a good price, but we were not provided with a map as advertised. Bikes are not well maintained and the one I rode did not shift to an easier gear so going up hills was difficult. Also, be aware that bikes are only allowed on the large outer path in Central Park. If you want to go on any of the interior paths, you have to walk your bike. Almost not worth it rent a bike if you want to go on the interior paths and see any of the sights.

Terrible customer service but good ride in the park - We had booked this had everything we needed (tickets and address) to get our bikes. Went to the bike shop listed on the address and was told we were at the wrong place. They were rude and very unhelpful. They told us we needed to go to another location a block away. When we got there the process was overly complicated to get our bikes. Employees did not help with helmets or setting the bikes up for us. No instruction before we left. The actual ride in Central Park was great but the process to get there was terrible. Would not recommend this.

JUST TAKE THE CITI BIKES!!!! - Kindly note: the review/one star is purely for this bike centre, NOT Viator. Thanks Viator team for processing my refund application.
Went to central park to get our bikes at the first store we see (near the main roads), but they told us that there were multiple outlets and we had to walk further after Starbucks to get our bikes from another outlet - this was our fault for not seeing where the pick up was
Kept walking till we saw the second outlet. We were greeted by this middle aged man who was all cheery but told us that it was not this outlet to get the bikes and to keep walking further down to get the bike...
Fine...we checked the fine print again and we walked to the 117 outlet. The third outlet. At this point we wasted 30 mins already....at the third outlet we showed the young boy our booking and he was clueless...he said he will call his boss...
Guess what?! The boss was the middle aged man we saw at the second outlet. Wow?! Like he could have just helped us there but we waited for him to walk to the third outlet...seriously?!
This dude then said his system slow. Can't find ticket. He had to call a couple of people...this was more than 45 mins of waiting at this point and he asked for some ID...which he say he has to keep it for security. Or we had to pay $100 deposit.
At this point my friends and I were extremely frustrated. We decided to request for refund on the spot. And when we told the guy we don't want. He was adamant in keeping my friend's ID but we managed to take the ID back into our hands and walked out.
Scary experience as the middle aged man looked unhappy when we left so we walked faster.
Unpleasant experience
