Invigorating autumn ride in the park Invigorating autumn ride in the park. Complete with interesting live commentary from witty and knowledgeable guide about the park and its neighbourhood. Stops at scenic lookout spots and the park’s landmarks always welcomed. Fair on the pocket. Just the right touristy thing to interest 2 teen boys travelling to NYC for the first time with their “boomer” adult - outdoors, crisp air, thrill of riding downhill, awe-inspiring NYC skyline and more. Room for improvement - friendlier attendants when checking-in. Would highly recommend.

DO NOT BOOK ONLINE Was in person in Central Park waiting to rent bikes. Was approached by a salesperson that I could “get a better deal booking online.” He stayed by my side the entire time while booking. I verified that I’d be getting the bike from the present location which he emphatically assured was true. Upon completion of the online rental, I step in line to pick up our bikes. I was told I had to go to a location several blocks away, towards midtown to pick them up. I was very frustrated and the salesperson who had been helping me was now “taking a break.” I was with my young daughter and did not want to ride bikes, even only a few blocks, through the streets of New York. They refused to refund my money. TOTAL CROOKS!

Watch your credit card statements After we returned our bikes, we were told our deposit had been refunded back onto our credit card. This did not happen. Several phone calls later, the issue was not resolved. Only when we involved the credit card company did we finally receive our deposit back. I understand mistakes and glitches can happen, but it should not take more than one month to correct.

Overall Just Ok Customer service was decent (very prompt email responses but I had to reach out to get the tracking number). I was unhappily surprised by the condition of the bike -- it was listed as "excellent" but I'd describe it as "good" -- lots of scratches and dings on every surface, some rusting, some damage to wires, surface damage to gears, wear on the seat and so forth. I haven't bought a used bike before so maybe I'm just not familiar with the condition... but I'd describe this bike as having been treated roughly.

Guided bike tour was an EXCELLENT experience! I recently took my 10 yr old daughter to NYC, and we had a wonderful experience on a guided bike tour of Central Park. Our tour guide, Ross, was fantastic! He made sure we were comfortable with our bikes, showed my daughter how to switch the gears, and allowed us plenty of time to walk around the various landmarks. We received a wonderful overview of the park. It was the highlight of our trip, and we will absolutely be back!
