What To Expect
New York City’s Central Park is probably best known as the most visited urban park in the United States and one of the most-filmed locations in the world. But it’s the natural attractions and their beauty that make it really special. Central Park offers hundreds of special highlights for individuals and families across 843 acres. From green meadows, sprawling waters, gardens and unique bridges to performance centers, educational facilities, and classical architecture, the park’s greatest attraction is its picturesque beauty. Renting a bike is a great way to see it all. Enjoy the view and pedal at any pace desired, stopping along the way to explore at will. Visit Strawberry Fields, Cherry Hill, Tavern on the Green, Bethesda Fountain, Onassis Reservoir, Cleopatra’s Needle, the Dakota, the Alice in Wonderland statue, and much more. Our bikes are late model Trek or Giant hybrid bikes. Ride for an hour or 24-hours. Enjoy the breathtaking views from flat, hilly, and scenic terrain. On a bike, it’s relatively easy to see a lot of the park in a short amount of time. Park rides provide three routes of varying lengths to choose from — 6.1 miles, 5.2 miles, or 1.7 miles. Ride one or ride them all. Sightseeing in New York City by bike is an easy way to see more. Other nearby world-famous attractions include the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET), Times Square, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Tandem bikes (for two people) may be provided if available (although not guaranteed and will count as two bicycles). It is possible to rent a bike from this location and drop it off at another location in the city. Please ask for more details at the shop. Bike rental and bikes are appropriate for all ages and skill levels, and one adult 18 or over must be present and responsible. Bike helmet(s) available free of charge upon request, mandatory for children under 14. Adult bikes, child bikes, child trailers, and child seats are all available. Bike baskets are available. Customer can reschedule their booking for any reason at no additional cost.

Functional for a ride round Central Park

3.00Functional - bicycles are old and very heavy, with gears that don’t change easily. Shop staff were not very friendly. Didn’t check if bikes fitted well or everyone was clear on how gears worked. No park maps available. Served a purpose.
We feel scammed

1.00We booked for a nice price via Viator, being around 60 dollar voor 4 bikes for 5 hours. Really a bargain. But by the cashier we were more or less forced to pay the full price even after doubting about the price she entered in her system. They said that it would be arranged after paying. The manager apologized by saying that the cashier was new. The end of the story, for now I paid around 200 dollar and used the bikes only for 1,5 hours due to the quality of the bikes. Shift gears not working properly. Still waiting for a refund that they promised. Stay away or make sure the payment is done correctly for you.

4.00Great way to get around and see Central Park with the kids. Had opportunities to stop and take in the sites and enjoyed a picnic. Staff were friendly and helpful, they provided advice and recommendations. The bikes were a little old and worn but did the job.

3.00The bikes rented from the Rentbike.nyc agency at 117 58th Street are far from being new and in good condition. The adjustment of the saddle by the person handing over the equipment is not at all suitable, much too low, we do it ourselves. Even more so, as we pass in front of the agency of the same rental company located at the very entrance to Central Park (near the Plaza hotel) and there, the bikes are much more recent and therefore in better condition.

5.00Perfect, ordered from home everything went without problems. We arrived early to not be there in prime time so it probably took just the top of the panic feeling in NYC. Super tour around the park except that other local cyclists use the tour around as training on the racing bike and they drive very, very strong and are not so good at showing attention to us who want to see the tour in a calm pace. You don't have to rent a bicycle to see the sights around the park as you can't drive away and cycle on, you have to pull around. We drove up north in the park and explored that part and then we walked around in the southern area. Worked fine for us.
Terrible customer service but good ride in the park

2.00We had booked this had everything we needed (tickets and address) to get our bikes. Went to the bike shop listed on the address and was told we were at the wrong place. They were rude and very unhelpful. They told us we needed to go to another location a block away. When we got there the process was overly complicated to get our bikes. Employees did not help with helmets or setting the bikes up for us. No instruction before we left. The actual ride in Central Park was great but the process to get there was terrible. Would not recommend this.
Shocking service

The best option to visit Central Park in a morning

5.00Good choice to get to know Central Park completely. Walking you will only visit it partially bicycle you will visit it whole. If you order a lock, you get it for free so you can tie the bike when you want to visit something in detail.
Excellent services, thank you
