NYC Bike and Pedicab Tours

Pedicabs have become a very popular way to avoid traffic during the rush hours. They are faster than the cars especially when all the streets are congested.

Barney Stinson from 'How I met your mother' riding a pedicab:
New York City How I Met Your Mother

When it comes to sightseeing pedicabs are unbeatable. In a city like New York there is a landmark at every corner and taking a cab spoils all the pleasure. If you happen to come in New York City you should definitely try a pedicab. Go around the cabs, feel the breeze and take a lot of pictures. If you are scared to take one of these on the streets you can try some of the Central park pedicab tours.

Central Park Tours







There is no doubt that Central Park is the most famous urban park in the world. It is located at the Manhattan island-one of the boroughs of New York City. It starts at 59th Street and goes all the way to 110th Street. It is famous for plenty of things-its nature, monuments, lakes, flora and fauna. Central park is one of the best places for a walk, picnic, dating and even romantic dinner. You will be amazed by its diversity. There are so many things to do that you will probably need two weeks to explore all of them. Some of the activities that take place inside are seasonal. Take for example the famous ice skating rink featured in movies like Home Alone 2, Serendipity and Love Story. It is the biggest one in New York proudly managed by Donald Trump. You can also find the summer stage nearby. If that doesn’t ring the bell for you just remember the Good morning America show and its concerts. That’s right-it is the same place. The summer stage is hosting these concerts for the past few years. You can also find rollerblading dance lessons, tango lessons and the famous Delacorte theatre hosting the “Shakespeare in the park”. Keep in mind that they are free but you will sometimes meet a serious competition trying to get these precious tickets. That is what it takes to see your favourite Hollywood stars in person. Central park is 843 acres in area and exploring all of it takes time. If you visit the place for the first time the best way to do the sightseeing is by taking some of the bike tours or pedicab tours. The professional tour guides will make sure that you will not miss a thing inside and will take plenty of pictures in order to memorize your NYC vacation. The Central park tours can also include a boat or a gondola ride. Still the best way to see the park is when you are on a bike. That gives you the freedom to go everywhere, park everywhere and spend some time among the nature.
