bike Ride - The 2 hour tour was a great amount of time to explore Central Park. Location was a block from the park.

Biking in NYC - Biking through the park was a wonderful experience. I haven't been on a bike in a long time. I was pleased that the braking system was very responsive. The staff was friendly. I Would recommend this event.

Biking in Central Park! - Easy to find and bikes were excellent. We live locally and spend the day in the city. This was a perfect few hours...maps and locks included. Staff was efficient and friendly. Highly recommend.

Easy process- limited use in Central Park - The experience in picking up and paying for the bikes was very easy- even smooth returning late. The only catch is that the Central Park doesn’t allow bikes in most of the walking areas. So it really helps to go a distance, but plan to get off and lock it up to walk around and see anything up close to enjoy the park.

Fun biking but not so fun dealing with company. - The biking experience in Central Park is enjoyable. My only dissatisfaction is with the company and staff. The process of checking in and out is hectic. Our assistant didn’t speak English which made it a little frustrating as he tried to help with bike gear etc.. My greatest frustration is with the return process. You must leave your drivers license with them during the rental which is my first concern. Secondly, after two hours of riding I had forgotten to collect my license and staff does not remind you. However, staff will remind you to return a blue lanyard they hand out at the beginning which I’m still trying to figure out what that was for. Bottom line this is a franchise with no local store front staff to call as all calls are all routed to some kind of call center. Needless to say, any issues can get frustrating as you are dealing with a third party at this point. If you forget your license be prepared to have to send them prepaid shipping if you want your items returned. I’d rather deal with a locally owned business and staff as any issues you have will leave you feeling displaced trying to resolve through this call center.

Terrible Service - Do not reserve bikes online. This does not guarantee you will get the bike you paid for. We reserved two e-bikes and when we arrived at the shop we’re told there were none left. It is first come first served even though you make a reservation. A refund was offered but can take 5 days to go back into your bank. We opted to have e-scooters instead. We also had the pay $200 deposit and leave a form of id which is a bit over kill in my opinion. Test your bike / scooter before you go to far from the shop. We walked the scooters to the park because I wasn’t confident driving on the road and when we started off into the park my husbands didn’t work so he had to walk it back to the shop to change it. All that being said once we were off driving around the park we had a great time. When returning the scooters our ID was returned without any issues.

Long lines to check in - Line to check in is way too long. At least an hour. Line to check out is at least 30 minutes. My husband and I arrived at our assigned check in time of 10 AM and the line was literally an hour long. In not going to stand there and waste my day standing in a stupid long line. I just cut my losses and enjoyed my day without the bike
