Bike and Roll Central Park and the Greenway Tour New York city

Being in one of the nation’s largest cities does not make it impossible to enjoy the great outdoors. Breathe in some fresh air and experience New York City in an environmentally friendly manner on your next trip. Skip the cab ride or bus tour, and opt instead for a tour of Central Park by bike! Not only will you feel invigorated and work off all the deli food you’ll be eating on your trip, but you’ll be able to take in some of the city’s most beautiful sights. Views of the Hudson River and the famous Manhattan skyline greet you while biking along the city’s new Greenway Bike Path.

Bike and Roll Central Park Tours provide you with an experienced tour guide who will roll you around to your heart’s content before leading you to New York’s green zone: Central Park. 843 acres of bike-friendly lanes that run almost the length of Manhattan make for an incredible workout and memorable tour. Stop at such sites as Strawberry Fields, a 2.5 acre section of the park in memoriam of the legendary John Lennon, named after his hit song. CLICK HERE

After you pause in remembrance, make your way to the stunning Belvedere Castle, a Victorian-style structure built in 1869 atop Central Park’s Vista Rock, the highest point in the park, which has a fantastic view. Built of grey granite, the castle has an eclectic past, having been completed under the infamous Tammany Hall political organization, and later housing the New York Meteorological Observatory. In 1983 the building’s beauty and potential were realized by the Central Park Conservancy and has been open to the public since.

Also noteworthy on this distinctive bike tour of Central Park is a stop at the Shakespeare Garden. Traditionally, Shakespeare Gardens contain plants mentioned in Shakespearean works such as mulberry trees and wild thyme, and are often used to perform Shakespearean plays and other theatrical works. Planted in 1916, this garden is very close to the Delacorte Theater, home to the New York Shakespeare Festival.

No fitness center in your hotel? Bring the whole family and bike yourself tired while seeing some of the city’s most photogenic spots. Bike and Roll is suitable for people of all fitness levels and ages, provided they are able to ride a bike. Enjoy light refreshments before throwing in the helmet and calling it a very fulfilling day.
