We did not plan to take this ride; however, after lunch at a restaurant, a guy asked us, we said no, we wanted to just walk in the park. About 50 yards along our walk, the same guy, Barris, approached us again. A very affable fellow, he explained what we would see, and what his tour entailed. Since we had very little time, the usual tour was too long, so we negotiated and took a shorter ride. I have been to Central Park numerous times but I saw new things in this short time with Barris than I had ever seen before. My two companions had walking difficulties and, thanks to this pedicab, they were able to see sights that would have been inaccessible to them otherwise. Barris was a very intelligent, personable, knowledgeable guy who, next time I'm in the park, I will certainly try to find. Having read a few of the reviews below, I would suggest talking seriously to the operator before getting into his cab. If you find Barris, hop right in!
