Unforgettable Adventure - 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!!

Great to explore. Central Park - The bikes were excellent and just a short hop to Central Park. We explored the park far more than would have been possible on foot. Thought the price for a couple of hours was well worth it.

Great customer service…but ended up in the hospital. - Everything was very smooth with the bike rental. All good until I fell off the bike while dismounting and broke my wrist. Would still do it again next time I’m in New York. By the way, the medical staff at Mt Sinai is also wonderful. 😊

Central Park Top to Bottom! - Excellent way to spend a day touring Central Park from one end to the other! Bikes are only allowed on certain paths, but you can easily get off, lock the bike up and explore other areas. It may be wise to bring a picnic. Or do what we did; lock the bikes up, wander into the neighborhoods on the west side and enjoy a nice lunch!

All perfect except the... - All perfect except the nervous welcome. Majority of the people working in this place were nervous and not very kind with clients. Missing 2 or 3 more probably, too much pressure

Very poor customer service - Unfortunately my daughters bikes gears did not work while we were in Central Park so we walked most of the 2 hours that we hired. I approached 2 members of staff on returning and was asked to email to explain as they didn’t do refunds instore. I askedfor a refund on one bike. I have emailed to and fro for 2 days. They have not offered a refund as yet. Time is short when you are in New York. I have found this firm to be inflexible despite their quick approach to take monies. I would suggest hiring bike from the Central Park entrance as it is cheaper and more convenient. Sadly this is not a firm I would recommend for cycling. Quick to take money but very poor customer service.
