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 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!

During our 7-day city trip to New York, this bike tour was a wow experience, the best day of our trip. Scott in front and the two of us behind, we cycled about 50 km through this metropolis via various parts of the city. Cycling was very relaxing because we didn't have to worry about the road, the pace and the busy traffic. Scott guided us through smoothly. Occasionally we made specific stops, we received explanations and there was time to visit on foot. It was wonderful. Highly recommended!
Scott was clear in his communication beforehand, knows New York very well, has a positive mindset, is very flexible yet goal-oriented and has a nice sense of humor.
Since we only did this trip on the fourth day of our city trip, we had already seen some parts of New York and others not yet. That is why we mainly cycled past parts of the city and places that we had not yet seen, but also past some places that we would like to see a second time.
Scott was very flexible in this regard, he adjusted the bike tour based on the things we really wanted to see and do (e.g. take the Roosevelt Island tram and ferry by bike). He also did not specify the hour at all: the tour would last until 3:00 PM or a maximum of 4:00 PM according to the website, without any problems or extra costs it became 5:00 PM.
The bikes were in very good condition, with fat tires and enough gears.
In short, I can't really say anything negative about this day. It was a great day.

Wow..a memorable trip. It was my first visit to NY and I wanted to see as much a possible. I'm a regular rider, so I took a full day tour and I wasn't disappointed. You see so much, the coolness of Brooklyn, the chaos of Wall street, a scenic ferry ride, the relaxed Governors island and more. Scott is a great informative guide, he knows the history and well as the celebrity gossip.

We started with a tour in central park, with some nice fun facts for kids and dad. Scott listens to see what are the expectations and interest and builds the tour onto that knowledge. We had a great tour further through south towards China Town (Lunch) and Brooklyn (great sights on Manhattan from the Brooklyn sight - kind of must do). Ending the nice day in Manhattan itself. Kids (9/12/17) loved to see it all and being allowed to take pictures any time or spent some time (refreshing run through fountains, ..)

We had 2 days in NYC and since our time was limited, I was concerned that I had dedicated a full day to Scotts Tour... however, he never disappointed us. This tour is exceptional in every way, his in depth knowledge of the area (names, dates) was mindblowing.. Scott is like an "energized encyclopedia", you will leave having a detailed yet colorful understanding of every corner covered in NYC, her founders and her people, past and present. He was flexible and knew exactly were to take us for the best Pizza in Brooklyn. We had both been to NYC previously but seeing it through the eyes of a well informed local with such a great personality - gave us a whole new perspective. We will definitely be back for another 6hr cycle tour with Scott of all the areas we never got to cover. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a memorable, personalized tour in a class of its own.

This was hands down the most incredible tour - my family loved it! Scott showed us all of the iconic sites of the city, along with additional treasures he knew we would appreciate based on our conversations, complete with history, stories, and current day tidbits of news and information. Literally, if we passed interesting architecture and made a comment, Scott could tell you something about the building and it’s occupants. Scott is knowledgeable, fun, and a fantastic companion to help navigate this great city. I’ve been to NYC dozens of time and one of our daughters lives here, but this tour was thoroughly enjoyable for us and our other daughter who was visiting NYC for the first time. Highly recommend!

I signed up for this mostly for some out-of-town friends who wanted to see NYC's "greatest hits" by bicycle (which I'm not qualified to give). And I'd recommend it for anyone—I've lived here for 20+ years, but Scott's knowledge of the city's history was mesmerizing and made me see the city anew. You get to see so many major sights, and Scott's commentary made it all the richer. I've been on tours where the guide was sort of robotic, but Scott had a gift for giving just the right amount of information before moving on. This is going to be my go-to for any future visitors who want to see the city by bike.
