Cycle To NYC's Top Sites In One Day

Overview

From Central Park to Brooklyn Bridge to Ground Zero, we'll see it all! This is not a tour for beginner cyclists. This a tour for confident, urban cyclists. We'll cover around 25 miles (40 km) over 6 hours. The pace will be brisk but not back-breaking or exhausting. We'll stick to designated bike lanes, but please understand, we cannot do this exclusively. This a tour for the adventurous of spirit. You'll see so many of NYC's most iconic spots and as they were intended to be seen: from the street. We'll take lots of breaks where you can get off the bikes, walk around and I will find you lots of photo ops to make you Instagram feed POP!

I'll keep you safe and you'll never risk wasting time getting lost. I'll also keep you entertained and provide history, context and local color. By the end of the day, you'll feel the burn, but be ready to feast in one of NYC's great restaurants—guilt free, you earned it!

Scott lead our group of four friends, all over 60 and one of us just turned 70. We found Scott’s pace very good for a pleasurable cycle around the city. Scott’s knowledge is current, impressive and immence. He was happy to adapt the route to suit our interests and was most generous with his time. Scott was able to show us sights we’d never heard of and to allow us to stop and enjoy the sights when we wanted to. Thank you Scott for a brilliant day out.

Scott did an amazing job of showing us around New York. He asked what we wanted to see and he made it all happen and then some. He provided great historical details for some of the locations and made sure we went to all the best apots for pictures! I have a feiend who is a travel agent and she said we saw more places in 1 day then she has seen in 4 visits. Highly recommend-no better way to see the city!
