In the morning we were welcomed with a big smile at Holland Bikes by Michael and colleague. With the sun on our backs and faces, Michael led us through Central Park with a joke and Rotterdam humour. Nice piece of history, proud stories of current life in New York. But also tips for restaurants visit, nice neighborhoods. Overall an impressive tour and definitely worth it.
Best way to see Central Park! Michael our guide was super knowledgable, fun and friendly! The bikes were all new, hi-quality bikes (Gazelle) and comfortable. The staff was welcoming, helpful and friendly, while making sure our bike seats & helmets were right. The facility was clean (even the bathroomswere squeaky clean!) and organized. I can not think of a better and more fun way to see the City and Central Park! Highly recommend!
2 bicycles not used. Super neatly helped. Adjust bikes, basket in front, lock and a helmet. Plus a good map of Manhattan. We had the regular Gazelle bikes, all like new. Next we'll take the electric, Central Park knows some hills. From the location of Holland Bikes only a short distance to Central Park. Watch the one-way roads.
