Due to construction work some areas were a bit difficult to navigate. The ride was great, we only had 2 hours so we rode across Brooklyn Bridge and back via Manhattan Bridge. Views were great.

Emilio was super helpful and knowledgeable about Manhattan and its bike routes. Hooked us up with bikes, locks, helmets, maps, emergency number (in case anything went haywire), pointed us in the direction we wanted to go and we were not only on our way but somehow confident. :-) Super fun day, probably my best experience of Manhattan since my very...

I live in Copenhagen and cycling is my main form of transportation, so when I saw I could get a bike rental for the day with my NY pass I jumped at the chance, it's so much quicker to get around than walking. I stayed mainly to the bike paths as I was very wary of the NY drivers (I'm... More

I bought 2 groupons for bike rentals here. The deal was great, the bikes were comfortable and Emilo was very helpful and friendly. We rode all the way to Battery Park along the Hudson. It was beautiful, easy and fun! Highly recommend this company and this outing as a good way to see New York City and get some exercise!... More

Emilio was very friendly and helpful. It was great to be able to keep the bike overnight. We loved the Hudson river bike paths. The East side is a little harder to ride due to construction and some narrow sidewalk areas. So much fun. Would recommend being offered night lights if keeping bikes overnight.

He adjusted the bike to our satisfaction and was happy to do so. We were off and rolling in no time. our tour was... More

Emilio was a great help finding the correct bikes for us and advising us on the bike routes ,as well as looking after our coats. He also gave us advice on NY attractions and how to get around the city. We only spent 2 hours on the bikes going along a cycle path along side the Huston river, and riverside... More

Emilio helped me get a perfect bike for mi size and was very helpful and patient, he also waited for me to get some cash to pay for the bike at the end. Thank you for trusting Emilio, few people in New York have that talent, the world would be a better place to live if there were more people... More

We got bikes here. They saved our feet tons upon tons of aches and pains. We biked all around the city one day! Be careful though! NYC drivers are wild! Gary almost got hit twice while going though the lower east side.

Thanks to Blazing Saddles, I enjoyed a fabulous autumn ride from the East River Bikeway around the tip of Manhattan and up the Hudson River Greenway to Central Park. New to NYC and riding solo, I wasn't sure where to go or how to get there. The sales rep had detailed knowledge of the bike paths. The bike was in... More
