Hop on your bike and head out for a day of sightseeing!

What are the must-see attractions to see on New York City bike tours?

You will be able to view Bethesda Fountain up close. This fountain serves as a focal point of Central Park, the largest fountain in New York, and one of the most well-known fountains in the world. Make sure to pedal around the fountain. Then check out the Angel of the Water sculpture, a bronze figure of an angel above four smaller cherubim that represent health, purity, temperance, and peace.

Love the Beatles? Idolize John Lennon? So does New York. The Strawberry Fields memorial is a 2.5-acre area, decorated with elm trees and flowers. New Yorkers dedicated it to John Lennon after his untimely death. Because of the site’s location in the designated quiet zone in Central Park, you can have a little rest. The site also includes the Imagine mosaic, a tribute to Lennon’s song and his fight for world peace.

If you are a fan of literary prowess, you will love to ride by the Literary Walk. You will first bike to the south end of the Mall, Central Park’s only straight pathway. The overarching trees that lock together provide shade and a photo op. You will then find four statues of famous writers, including William Shakespeare, Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, and Fitz Greene Halleck. However, you will notice that there are five statues standing on the Literary Walk. The fifth statue depicts Christopher Columbus, known as the “odd man out” since the others were prominent playwrights, poets, novelists, and essayists.

You can also cycle up to Belvedere Castle and take in the elegant miniature castle and its surrounding view. The Italian word “Belvedere” translates to “beautiful view,” which is fitting. The architects originally designed the castle without any windows or doors and simply wanted to present it as a viewing platform for the cityscape below. Don’t forget to stop by the gift shop for a few knick-knacks to take home and remember your time in the city.

Do New York bike tours include a guide?

The New York City bike tours travel across mainly flat, paved ground. The different tours welcome beginner bicyclists and seasoned riders alike.

Are New York City bike tours suitable for children?

Many of the tours offer a range of bike sizes so that your little ones can join you on the ride. They can also provide you with child seats for those who are not yet old enough to pedal on their own. Keep in mind that anyone under the age of 18 will need an adult present.

How long do the tours last?

Some tours designate at least a 2-hour tour time. Others allow you to rent the bikes and head out on your own for as long or as little as you would like. Particularly if you plan to embark without a live tour guide, you can rent the bikes for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 24-hour durations.

What should I bring on a bike tour in New York City?

Pack your passport or driver’s license and wear comfortable clothes and close-toed, snug shoes. Also, wear a jacket or something you can easily shed if you start to get hot. The morning and evening tours can start out with a chill, but the harder you pedal, the faster you will warm up.

based on 634 reviews

We bought the pass for 5 attractions. - Empire State Building (online reservation required, but is free of charge) - Rockefeller Center - Top Of the Rock (ticket with a fixed time must be picked up in the basement) - Hop On Bus - Line Cruises 1.5 hour round trip - cycling Central Park ( here it is important to go to the addresses in the app, there are similar / same-name providers directly at Central Park who do not know the pass and do not accept it.) For all activities you show the QR code and get the ticket. At the Empire State Building, the QR ticket is directly the ticket for the turnstiles. Everything went smoothly.

Booked 2 tickets to give us a bit of flexibility on a long weekend in NY. Used it for Central Park Zoo and MoMA and really easy to use just scanned barcodes. I don’t think we got value for money on our choices so you should check that.

Fantastic tour! Dan was an awesome guide…full of fun facts about the Park and NYC. He did a great job of keeping everyone together and guiding us through the busy park. Would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent bike tour and Dave had many an interesting fact. One of the most entertaining and enjoyable tours I’ve been on.

Miranda took wonderful care of us, and we had a great ride!
