My husband and I ( both retired) were in NYC for a few days and cycling was our first choice to see some of the sites. This tour was fantastic because the route was well planned and safe, and our guide Mani was very knowledgeable and fun. The drawbacks were: no personalized fitting of the bike by staff before leaving, no bathroom at the departure point and all the planned spots for bathroom were closed! The group was very large ie 19 people for one guide. Amongst the riders we had 2 flat tires that were well felt with by our guide . Also, it was a very rainy day, it actually poured for the entire ride but we did it anyway. It was fun but we were all kind of cold at the end.
