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

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!

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.

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.

Bike was in good condition Bike was in good condition. Service was quick. Proximity to Central Park was convenient. Only problem was finding my way back to the Bike Rent premises - it would make it easier if we were given a small printed map - All roads look the same when you are from out of town!
