131 Concord St Brooklyn, NY US 11201
This Brooklyn-based bike tour operation has built a stellar reputation around exceptional guides and top-quality electric bikes. Michael gets mentioned repeatedly for his enthusiasm, flexibility, and deep knowledge of the city, while guides like Petra and Carla also earn praise for making tours both fun and informative. The Gazelle e-bikes are consistently described as well-maintained and easy to ride, handling NYC streets with confidence even for visitors nervous about urban cycling. The guided tours cover impressive ground, taking small groups through Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, Dumbo, and across the bridges, with guides willing to adjust routes based on what you've already seen or want to explore. Many reviewers recommend booking early in your trip to benefit from restaurant and bar recommendations. One visitor did experience a battery issue on a cargo e-bike that cut their self-guided rental short, though the standard e-bikes seem reliable. If you're tall, note that some found the bikes ran a bit small. Overall, this appears to be an excellent way to cover more territory than walking while getting insider knowledge of the city.
We were there early in the spring, of course, so we were the only two people signing up for a tour of Manhattan. Fortunately, it went ahead, and we simply had a private tour. It was amazing. I can recommend this to everyone because cycling through NY is great, and you immediately feel connected to the city. We rented the bikes for the whole day and then cycled to Central Park and went all the way around. We bought some treats at a bakery and ate them in the park. Good Gazelle bikes with an optional front basket and a phone holder for using Google Maps. It was ideal and definitely worth repeating. Highly recommended!
