During one of these bike tours in New York you will be expertly guided through your choice of location. Explore Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, the area along the Hudson River and many other sights.

Eric’s Tip: Bike tours in New York aren’t cheap. It’s much cheaper to hire a bike alone. If, however, you’re in New York for the first time, an inexperienced cyclist or travelling with your kids: I would recommend you do take an organised bike tour. You’ll learn the ropes quickly and, most importantly, it’s safer.
