Head over hills in Central Park due to lack of staff pointing out basic operating procedures. I'm from Australia where the rear brake is operated by the left hand. Operating staff should have pointed out that at NYC the left hand operates the front pedal. Surely every bike hire should include a brief handover about operating procedures. Unfortunately, I used what I thought was the rear brake which was in fact the front one. Head over hills. 30K hospital bill. Thank you very much, Brian

Buying used scooter I just ordered 2 used electric scooters and it seems to be very easy and convenient to purchase and pick up my orders. Hopefully the entire process will be as easy as this has been so far. Will let you guys know own when I've completed the whole process.

Phillip was a great tour guide for 7 of… Phillip was a great tour guide for 7 of us. Five were in our party, 2 adults and 3 teenagers. They exchanged 2 bikes for one tandem for two of us upon request. They supplied helmets and time to wander around at our leisure at each of the landmark stops. Great explanations too. The day was also perfect in the high 60's F bright and sunny (mid March) for fabulous pictures.

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!

Used bike purchase - Do Not Recommend I ordered a bike online, which was marked as an excellent condition for 400$, but the bike I actually received was in beat-up condition, with lots of rust, scratches all over, dents, they didn't even bother to wipe down the bike. Don't recommend buying a bike from here.
