Blair Nicole, PR Director for Central Park Bike Rental, says that "A guided Central Park bike rental tour is perfect for adults and families who want to see it all in just two hours while learning about the park from a local. Or, people who want to have full control can rent their own bikes. We provide top-of-the-line bikes, and there's everything from kid's bikes to tandem bikes here."

Central Park is really a town in and of itself, and one can spend an entire day exploring architecture, trails and other attractions. But, visitors short on time, can still get a taste of the park by booking a two hour bike tour.

For instance, the Central Park Zoo is a five-acre gem that not only houses130 species, but also offers classes and exhibitions. History buffs can ride uptown on the east side of the park to 106th Street to visit Fort Clinton, the place where the British first built a fortification in 1776, following their invasion of Manhattan.

Central park isn’t the only tour, however. Tourists with a little more time in the city can take a customized tour of different areas in NYC or even combine a bike tour with a Liberty Cruise tour, which gives spectacular views of New York Harbor.

Here are a few of the different neighborhoods visitors can expect to discover with a Central Park Bike Rental tour.

• Brooklyn. This borough of New York City is rich in history.  Of the many places visitors will explore, one of the most notable is Fort Greene Park, the original site of forts built for both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. This park has an impressive roster of names with which it’s associated, including Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Greene, Frederick Law Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, William Howard Taft, and McKim, Mead and White, which gives tourists a hint of its important role in this city.

• Harlem: Expect to see rows and rows of beautiful homes, as well as the famous Apollo Theater nd vibrant 125th Street. Travelers can visit Harlem’s Restaurant Row on Frederick Douglass Blvd. It’s the location of the Red Rooster Restaurant, owned by celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson, the restaurant was named in honor of the legendary speakeasy that attracted neighborhood folk, jazz greats, authors and politicians, such as as Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Frederick Douglass, Nat King Cole and James Baldwin.

Another option for visitors who have seen Marcus Samuelsson on one of his many television appearances on Top Chef Masters or The Food Network, among others is the New York at Night Bike Tour. Visitors will get to see well-known landmarks like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and more under the stars and bright shining lights.

“New York at night is so different, “ said Blair Nicole,  “You might notice things you wouldn’t in the day.”
