Discovering the Big Apple on a bike is a fun and active way of sightseeing. Our Central Park Bike Rental is an excellent way to get to know this huge green oasis, one of NYC’s top attractions. Ride under the shade of the American Elm Trees on Literary Walk, visit the Bethesda Fountain and Terrace for a lakeside view of the classic rowboats, or stop for a break and take in the skyline views. The park stretches 3.41 km² or 1.31 m² so there’s a lot to see and do, and on a bike you can be sure not to miss a thing.

Rent a Bike and discover one of NYC’s highlights: Central Park

A bike is by far the best means of transport within the park. After you’re finished exploring the park, you can ride up to the Upper West Side, or cycle down to Lower Manhattan and cross the Hudson River via the Brooklyn Bridge. With our Central Park bike rental, you don’t have to be confined only to the park. Reach places you wouldn’t otherwise be able to reach by bike, and at affordable prices. Plus, our experts at the shop will be happy to give you insider tips about the best routes around town.

Prices:
2 hours: $19
4 hours: $30,50
8 hours: $34,50
24 hours: $71
2 days: $109
3 days: $136,50
1 week: $218

Please note: for multi-day rentals, the bikes should be stored inside. Check with your accommodation if this is possible. If this is not possible, you need to book separate reservations for every day of the rental and bring back the bikes at night. We can’t offer multi-day discounts if the bikes can’t be stored inside at your accommodation and need to be returned every day.*

We had an excellent Belgian guide (***) on our guided Manhattan Brooklyn tour. Large group, but a nice route! What I find very bad is that you have to leave behind proof of ID. Firstly, this is prohibited. As a Dutch national, you may NEVER hand over your passport / driver's license or ID card. Leaving behind an ID card (or other proof of identity) is not permitted under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Handing over ID as a deposit (e.g. hotel, bike rental, etc.): • This may not be requested or demanded. An ID is strictly personal and contains a lot of sensitive information. • You may ask to see the ID for verification, but not confiscate or copy it. • I, as a customer, may refuse and explain that it is not allowed under the GDPR. • An alternative deposit amount or showing ID without leaving it behind.

We rented bikes without a guided tour. Picking up the bikes was a bit chaotic, and we couldn't set off until about an hour later. The gears on one of the bikes were slipping. Otherwise, fine.

Great bikes, it's just a shame that the employees handing bikes over to customers don't know they also rent out bikes via Baja Bikes. That was a bit unclear for a moment; everything was handled properly at the counter. Perhaps hang a sign outside on the door or facade advertising Baja Bikes rentals as well?

Very satisfied with Baja Bikes, friendly service and great bikes, helmet, and lock. A few points for improvement: 1. You are asked to leave an ID, which is really unacceptable. Just take a photo of it. 2. No lights on the bike, so we couldn't go for a ride in the evening. 3. No bicycle bell.
