Functional for a ride round Central Park

Functional - 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

We 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.

Operator response

Dear Ron, sorry for the situation that happened with your reservation. We will keep precise, to avoid all similar occurrences in the future. We have fully refunded the amount that you have been charged at the store. Thank you for understanding!

Great way to see Central Park by Bike

Great 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.

Disappointing

The 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.

Thanks for your kindness

Central Park NYC July 2023

Perfect, 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

We 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.

The best option to visit Central Park in a morning

Good 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.
