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.

Refund denied
Refund denied. Offered me a credit for future use. I don’t travel to NYC often. Pointless generosity.

Other than the tour company failing to tell us we needed to pay a little extra.it was still worth it. A great way to explore the park. Maybe throw in a free map and bottle of water as the bike company are aware the bus tour company arent 100% honest about the charge.

Hello Shereen,
Thank you for your feedback here.
We would like to know a bit more about this situation. If you could send us an email (reservations@bikerent.nyc) to let us know which tour company you worked with, the extra charge you mentioned and then which bus company?
This would be invaluable to us! But I do apologize in regards to the maps - all rentals include free maps, locks and helmets!
Amazing
Fantastic bike ride around Central Park! Would highly recommend!

Hello Antonio,
Thank you for your feedback. We do offer a 15 minute grace-period for all riders as stated on your waiver. I am not sure what happened here or why this was not extended to you.
Very good experience!
