I wonder where you rent your bikes from. <a href="http://www.centralpark-newyorkcity.com/bicycle-rentals/" rel="nofollow">Central Park bike rental</a> offers up to 30% discounts when reserving online. I love riding through Central Park, NYC.rozdincerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820220192079849027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227147.post-72033770080756481132008-08-17T23:25:00.000-04:002008-08-17T23:25:00.000-04:00Four of us went on the 9th of August as well: Jon ...Four of us went on the 9th of August as well: Jon Shinefeld, John Siemierowski, Scott, and myself. They came up for the day and met me at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal in Manhatten. I had traveled the night before by Chinatown bus and stayed with relatives. <BR/><BR/>During our ride, we took the same route as Sarah and her husband and continued beyound the closed street segment into Central Park. Our experience was very similar and exhilirating. From there we traveled to 110th Street and headed to the West Side, eventually ending up on the Hudson Greenway and rode to the Cloisters at about 200th Street. Turning around and traveling to the south on the Greenway we went back to Battery Park and checked out the "waterfall" exhibit on the East River. Finally we went back to the Ferry and traveled to the Staten Island Museum where we were accorded free admission because we arrived on bikes. The museum has a nice exhibit on Human Powered Vehicles that took about 1 hour to view. Then off to a Ceylonese resturaunt and split back up, with Jon, John, and Scott heading back to Phila. I headed back to Manhatten to see a wonderful free play along the East River and another great meal. With the closed streets, I covered about 45 miles that day with only 10% on active open roads. <BR/><BR/>NYC is always a happening place and with the $20 Chinatown bus service (round trip)(bikes are free and the bus runs almost every 1/2 hour of the day) it is easily accessible for a cyclist. Combined with the great NYC bike maps (free at any bike shop)you can have a blast for only a small outlay of cash in as little as one day. Hope the trip on the 16th was as good as the 9th was for us.<BR/><BR/>Ray ScheinfeldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
