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

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.

Excellent experience with Bike I had an excellent experience with Bike rent. This place helped me a lot during this lockdown by providing me with a helpful (and coveted..) bike. As an essential worker, I am very grateful for their assistance and generosity. Thank you again!

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!

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.
