WHY TAKE A BIKE TOUR?

With over 26 million visitors a year, Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States! This gem of Manhattan is beloved by New Yorkers and tourists alike.

At 843 acres (340 ha), it's larger than the country of Monaco! Its fascinating history spans two centuries of history. Needless to say, there's a lot of ground to cover when exploring Central Park!

We offer two walking tours of the park that each cover different parts, yet even combined, they still leave out the northern third of the park!

With a bike tour of Central Park, you can cover over six miles (10 km) of it without being too worn out.

And not only is an experienced tour guide a wealth of knowledge but he or she will show you the safest and most efficient way to the most famous landmarks.

Our pay-what-you-wish bike tour of Central Park operates on a limited schedule.

Therefore, we have listed a few companies with daily schedules that we recommend. 

THE PAY-WHAT-YOU-WISH OPTION

Let Free Tours by 'Bike' tell you the story behind Olmstead and Vaux’s masterpiece.

You’ll see The Mall and Literary Walk majestically lined with towering elms and the 3,500-year-old Egyptian obelisk Cleopatra’s Needle.

Marvel at the splendor of Bethesda Fountain and the scenic Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.

We’ll watch your bikes as we give you time to climb to the top of Belvedere Castle, where you’ll get a view of the Great Meadow, Shakespeare Garden, and Turtle Pond.  

You’ll see the Dakota Apartments where John Lennon was tragically assassinated and Strawberry Fields where we honor his memory today.

Of course, there will be lots of photo opportunities along the way!

Alternatively, you can also rent a bike and go on your own personal tour with our GPS-enabled audio tours .

Many New York tourist attraction discount passes provide discounts on some of the bike tour services we have listed above.

Depending on which pass you choose, you could save up to 55% off of the retail prices of NYC's most popular tours and attractions, in addition to the bike tours.

New York Pass

This pass includes either a bike tour or a rental from Central Park Sightseeing. Alternatively, you can also get a free bike rental from Blazing Saddles.

Since this is an All-Inclusive pass, you will receive these benefits as part of the flat price for the service.

New York Sightseeing Pass

Much like their competitors, you can also take a bike tour or enjoy a bike rental with this service.

The New York Sightseeing Pass offers the Bike and Roll Central Park tour as one of their attractions.

They also provide free bike rentals from Bike Rent NYC, allowing you to head through the park on your own if you wish.

You'll begin your journey riding past the historic luxury hotels that line the south side of the park, including the Ritz Carlton, Plaza, and Essex House.

Movie Locations and Artistic Tributes

For decades, Central Park has been a setting for countless films and shows. Along your bike tour of the park, your guide will point out where blockbusters such as Elf , Home Alone 2 and When Harry Met Sally were shot, along with countless episodes from shows like Law and Order .

Across Central Park, artists have also developed stunning fountains, statues and gardens dedicated to the great writers of the past. In the Shakespeare Garden, examine with scent and sight the elaborate flowers that surround the statue of William Shakespeare at the center. Further north, see the dedication to Lewis' Alice in Wonderland looking over the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.

Bethesda Terrace, Cherry Hill Fountain, and the Lake

At the heart of Central Park is Bethesda Terrace. The most iconic structure in the park, this attractive two-level square full of musical performers, street artists, and selfie-takers. The area designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux is one of the most popular places in the park to hang out and watch New York City life pass by.

From the Terrace you'll have a stunning view of the Bethesda Fountain and out over The Lake. Enjoy the atmosphere, take a few photos, and carry on your journey. From here, you'll ride around the Cherry Hill Fountain and to Bow Bridge for another amazing vista of The Lake and the West Side high rises.

Belvedere Castle and the Great Lawn

From the Italian for "beautiful view", the Belvedere Castle isn't really a castle but does present an amazing view of the Great Lawn. The stone structure appears as a Gothic castle, but was always intended as an observation deck within Central Park. Though kings and queens have never resided in the castle, it is a scenic location full of New York history.

Below the Castle is the Great Lawn. The lawn is the daily home of picnic lunches and relaxation for New Yorkers. It is the perfect place to lay down a blanket or throw a frisbee, and it's also home to many softball fields. On Curb Your Enthusiasm, the very friendship of Larry David and Rosie O'Donnell was threatened during a softball game here.

John Lennon and Strawberry Fields

One of the most famous names associated with Central Park is John Lennon, and your guide will walk your through his story and love for the park. After the Beatles broke up at the end of the 1960s, Lennon left Liverpool for a life in New York. An adopted son of the City, Lennon lived just a block off of Central Park.

Though Lennon passed away in 1980, the memory of Lennon in the park lives on. Your guide will lead you through Strawberry Fields to the monument in honor of the iconic musician.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

Renamed in 1994 to honor Jackie Kennedy's contribution to New York City, Central Park's largest body of water is no longer used as a reservoir, but attracts lots of aquatic birds and is surrounded by beautiful trees and landscapes. There's also a 1.58-mile track around the reservoir that's popular with joggers, walkers, and cyclists alike. Stretch your legs and enjoy a gentle ride around the water, before returning to the rental office where you'll wave goodbye to your local guide and the rest of your group.

Central Park bike ride

Paul our tour guide was awesome!

A day in the park with John

We're a family of 5 visiting from Birmingham AL and we were paired with John as our guide. The whole family loved the insights from John on the stops along the way. Never knew Central Park was that massive! 2 hours was the perfect amount of time so we could do other things with our day. And it's mainly flat so even my little ones were able to get enjoyment out of the ride and not think it was exhausting.

Fabulous 2 hour bike tour with Dan

This event was definitely worth the money. A maximum of 15 of us with our tour lead Dan, took us on a bike ride around Central Park. His knowledge was great, he made sure we were all comfortable and regularly checked in on how were doing. Dan was a fabulous guide , humorous, knowledgable, safe and fun. All the right ingridents as part of our 3 day stay in NYC.
