NYC Sightseeing Bike Tour

One of the best ways to see New York City is by bike. New York City has over 1,000 miles of bicycle lanes and paths, reaching every corner of the five boroughs. With so much to explore, choosing the right NYC bike tour can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer customized tours that are tailored to what you are interested in seeing.

All of our NYC bike tours are guided by Lukas Herbert, the owner of Gotham Bicycle Tours. Lukas is a professional urban planner who knows a lot about the city, its infrastructure, buildings and history as well as the best routes to ride. Lukas is also licensed by the City of New York as a sightseeing guide and is credentialed by the City as a “star guide” due to his extensive knowledge. (NYC DCA License # 2062201)

Our rides are also ideal for more advanced riders who are looking to ride a longer distance (and see more) than what might be offered on a standardized tour open to riders of varying abilities.

Suggested itineraries include (a 2-hour tour could more than one of these):

• Central Park and the surrounding “museum and mansions” neighborhoods
• Historic and cultural sites of Harlem
• Manhattan and Brooklyn waterfronts, including the Brooklyn Bridge
• Greenwich Village and the historic sights of lower Manhattan
• Coney Island and the beaches of New York City (including the infamous “Dead Horse Bay”)
• Brownstone Brooklyn and Prospect Park
• Brewery rides in Brooklyn and Queens
• Historic sites of the Bronx ending at the Bronx Brewery or Yankee Stadium
• Ride along the city’s famous aqueduct system, past the historic estates along it

Customized bike tours start at $250 for up to 6 people.
