Great experience. Located close to Central Park. Staff were very helpful, and bikes were good quality. Make sure to take some ID you’re happy to leave with them like an ID card or driving licence.

Owner was very nice. We got an hour bike rental to ride around Central Park. My 11 yr old had a hard time on the hills but we made it all the way around just in time to get our bikes back. I would definitely rent bikes from here again.

    Easy to locate the shop. Trouble-free pick-up. Staff very friendly. Great cycling around Central park and alongside the Hudson River to the 911 memorials.

    Reserved online so just had to pick up the bike. Bike was Trek, a step through which I requested. Easy access to Central Park just hang a left on broadway & stay in the bike lane until it dumps you in the park. Had to ask for a helmet & the map was not helpful but used my map app. Did the 2 hour rental & was able to ride the entire park & stop for photos & sites. Easy return, just dropped it off.

    After our bike ride in Central Park we passed the bicycle shop, because we were lost, and they came out and flagged us down. The bikes were all in great shape.

    Lots of fun!

    We had a lot of fun riding bikes through Central Park! The bike pickup location convenient and the owner was very helpful and friendly!

    Great rental shop

    Spencer_H, Jun 2024
    Excellent experience. The whole rental process was incredibly efficient and pleasant. Kind, helpful employees. Easy to navigate from the rental shop to the park entrance and so much fun biking all around! Bikes were well-maintained. Our group ranged from age 12-adults and it was wonderful for all. We’d do it again next trip!

    The guys at the hire place were really freindly,cand got us on our way in good time. They were quite busy.

    We got to the bike hire 40 minutes early, was not a problem sorted us out in quick time. The bikes were really good trek hybrid bikes, were really easy to ride. We had a great time cycling all round Central park.

    Best place in New York to rent a bike

    Maurizia_S, May 2024
    the best place to rent bikes in central park. the kind owner immediately provides you with what you need, lets you choose the bike, I also asked for the basket. The bikes are brand new, latest model, really beautiful. I had rented 7 bikes, but one of us didn't come, I was refunded for the bike even though it had already been paid for. I recommend to everyone

    David_M, Jan 2024
    It was a little chilly when we started, but as the morning went on and the more peddling we did it was very comfortable. We didn't have a lot of extra time that day so the bikes let us see more of the park, than if we had to walk.

    Central Park Serenity

    Hello, we are located at 240 West 56th St. and we are open 7 days a week. I don't what happened on that day. Something misunderstood

    Briljant way to discover New York

    Yvonne_H, Sep 2023
    We had great weather and cycling was a lot of fun. Great way to discover Central Park. Very friendly staff!!

    Quality bikes make for a nice ride

    Paul_S, Sep 2023
    Good bikes and advice. Central Park now car-free all week so a great place for a relaxing ride. Choice of whether you take the hills at the top, or not ;-)

    Great bikes, excellent people working the shop, enjoy the park with no hassles!!

    Jack_P, Aug 2023
    Bikes were perfect, well maintained and in excellent shape. We were a bit late, we got "stuck" at the street fair and it was not an issue with the great people working the desk who were truly super helpful and very nice. They provided a map and some good advice on the park. Would rent again with them in a heartbeat.

    Good experience.

    Andre_L, Jul 2023
    Excellent service and very reasonable price. Very satisfied. I would book with them again. Thank you.

    Riding Central Park

    Our family had a great ride in Central Park. Three hours was plenty of time to see things in Central Park.

    Location to Central Park is 2-3 blocks away, bikes/accessories were in excellent order, very enjoyable experience, thank you. Highly recommended.

    Helpful staff, quality gear, excellent experience

    Noah_R, Jul 2023
    The Trek bikes were high quality, lightweight, and very nice to use. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. They provided everything we needed and gave us a basic guide on the direction to travel in the park. Got a better price here than other spots around south Central Park. Would have loved to have purchased a 3-day pass for the weekend!
