I took the 2 hour Central Park walking tour…read more Our guide, Aaron, was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting details throughout the tour. However, I was a bit distracted by how often he consulted his phone for accuracy, and he did take a short call during the tour. I appreciated his creative use of music to help us imagine the park's history -- it was a unique touch -- though I personally didn't want to stand still quite so long for that portion. He had also planned to show us historic photos, but unfortunately, the tablet provided by the company had a dead battery, which reflected more on the company's preparation than on Aaron himself. On the positive side, we were lucky to get a VIP-style experience since we were the only two participants on the tour. Aaron was thoughtful and kind -- he even brought and offered us a poncho since it was raining. He also went out of his way to guide us on how to use the subway afterward so we could reach our next appointment on time, and he eagerly pointed out great photo spots and offered to take pictures for everyone. Overall, I'm glad I took this tour. Aaron clearly cared about our experience and made it memorable despite a few minor hiccups. FYI: this tour does not include Strawberry Fields or the Alice in Wonderland statue.

I'd definitely recommend this company. Ask for Rusian if you want a great guided pedicab tour.

If you go to New York you have to go on the Brooklyn bridge and take a picture. - it's a tourist…read morething and it's busy! My fiancé and I walked here from the New York side at the end of January. It wasn't that cold and it was kind of windy. Anyway there's a whole bunch of tables set up at the end of the bridge on the NY side with souvenirs; keychains, posters, post cards, etc. very cheap too! Like $1 ea. Or 10 for $5 - not a bad deal. As for the bridge itself it's so packed. There's a lane designated for bikers are they will honk or yell at you if you're in there and will run you over if you don't move lol. They will not slow down. It's hard to get a picture on the bridge when it's busy. Everyone's taking their selfies with the lovely buildings. And people are constantly asking others if they can take pictures for them. I mean, just get your picture and get out lol. You don't have to actually walk the whole bridge. You seen it you took a picture so get out lol.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn so the Brooklyn Bridge holds a special place in my heart. I…read morehaven't walked the bridge in about 10 years and a lot has changed. It is wayyyyy busier and there are a lot of little vendors that sell really cheap souvenirs (tip for tourists), drinks (cans and bottled) and ladies selling fruits. There are two lanes. One for walkers and one for bikers. It is nice to respect each other and stay on your designated side. It is free to walk the bridge and also very fun and relaxing. I recently took the walk by myself and had a great time. I chatted with some of the vendors and took in the scenery. Even though it is busy, you are still able to get a picture without so many people if you take your time. I always enter from the Brooklyn side, no specific reason why. If you are a tourist I wouldn't recommend wasting money on a "tour" unless you can't google the history yourself. Tours restrict your time. It may be better to roam for free. This is a must do if you are ever in NY!

Turns out a had a leak in the inner tube. I looked for the closest bike shop and Conrad's was it. I called and asked if they were open. They asked what was wrong and I explained. They said come right over. Really nice people. They fixed it right away and the price was very reasonable.

What a wonderful experience. Seeing Harlem by bike is perfect. The are is large enough that a…read morewalking tour could not possibly cover enough of the significant sights. The pace of the ride is leisurely and not challenging from a riding perspective. The tour covers the major landmarks of Harlem and includes a stop for a decent meal. Lorna is a charming and knowledgeable (Harlem resident) tour guide and even plays an awesome selection of music. The company runs out of a small Harlem bike shop and is locally owned and operated which makes the experience even more personable. If you want a great tour of Harlem, this is the one! And as an added bonus, I now have the Sugar Hill Gang music stuck in my head

Let me start by saying I'm newer to riding clipless/this was my first "big" bike purchase. I…read morehaven't written a Yelp review in years but felt compelled to do so this evening because I had such a great experience at Bicycle Habitat vs some other shops I went to in the city... I had previously tried getting a bike from the Specialized store on the UWS and while they were friendly, their service times left a lot to be desired. Same goes for Hilltop in Williamsburg (also owned by Specialized) - those guys treated me like I was a sale/noob and really couldn't have cared less about figuring out what was "right" for me given I wasn't going to be buying a bike from them. Nice guys, but once again - backed up for weeks on the service side of things. Back to Bicycle Habitat - Matt and the team were awesome. Took their time with me after a build and helped me get sorted with both shoes and clips - adjusted my bike a bit and really made sure I got some practice clipping in/out and that I was all set to go before walking out the door. All in all spent over an hour in the shop both chatting with the guys and getting set up with the new bike. I will 100000% be bringing any and all future bike needs to the shop and will be making it known to friends/fellow bikers that this is the place to go. More than happy to support the shop - 5 star service and looking forward to my next return.

It would tip over every time he hit the brakes (rear brakes). The bikes were very uncomfortable to ride on, in addition to not being able to go up the hill so we would walk them most of the time. another customer came back with the chain off his bike right after he took off with it. I made a reservation on line, so the bikes were supposed to be waiting for us, however we ended up waiting 25 minutes as they were taking people before us. The worst part is the attitude of sales people when I asked them for a refund, the guy was trying to convince me I didn't know how to ride a bike. (?!) Don't bother with this place!There are a lot better places around, that are not street walkers, but regular stores you can walk in to.

We called the phone number twice and the man on the end of the line was really apologetic for the late-running store clerk. The store clerk turned up smelling of alcohol, was unapologetic and rude. He was also difficult to deal with being Russian and having limited English. When we returned the bilked I wanted my ID back but he kept asking for an "order". He never gave any receipts, forms or "orders". I finally got my ID, which he was rude and disrespectful again in providing. Will never go back or recommend.

First of all, the day was super nice, sunny, breezy, PERFECT and there will be tons of people trying to get you to rent bikes from them and this and that!! One of our friends started talking to a guy that works for this certain office and they are all the same but have different locations. I wish I would of gotten the guys name too but he hooked us up!!! $19 bucks for all damn day!!! The bikes were perfect too, no flats and we got the locks for our bikes for free. I feel its totally how you talk to them and they will hook you up, if you're nice, they will also be nice and work with you. When we do go back NYC, we will definitely go back to this location and hopefully that totally awesome guy will be there.

The price was significantly better than what we found at other vendors and the bikes were of good quality. Regrettably, one member of our party became ill and was rushed to urgent care leaving his bike behind in Central Park. This presented us with a predicament - four bikes, three riders. We called the phone number to see if we could make an arrangement to have the bike picked up but we could not get a live person on the phone. All of the menu options directed us to a recording, much to our frustration. In the end, we had to lock up the extra bike in the park and later take an Uber back to the lone bike to ride back to store. Five stars - bike quality and convenient location Three stars - customer service
