“Great tour of Central Park if you don't want to walk it and you don't have a lot of time. Cycle shop is close to the Park so you can walk your bike so you don"t have to ride it on the streets too far. We did ride ours and it was no problem. Hubby and I used E-Bikes and they were in good condition. The other bikes looked in good shape as well. Glad we were on eBikes as there are a few slight up hills that my eBike made it a breeze. Guide had good information. It would be good if guide had microphone and riders had ear…”
