The Central Park experience

The most iconic 6.1-mile loop in America.

Central Park is the most-visited urban park in the United States — 843 acres designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and opened in 1858. The main bike loop is 6.1 miles long, closed to cars year-round, and passes nearly every iconic moment in the park.

From our shop at 873 7th Avenue, the typical Central Park bike rental loop unfolds like this:

  • Columbus Circle entrance → enter at 59th & Broadway, just four blocks from our shop
  • Strawberry Fields & the Imagine Mosaic → at 72nd Street West (5 min in)
  • Bethesda Terrace & Fountain → the "Angel of the Waters" at the heart of the park
  • Bow Bridge → the most-photographed bridge in NYC, 1862 cast iron
  • Belvedere Castle → the 1869 Calvert Vaux castle with the best views
  • Tavern on the Green → 1934 landmark restaurant, perfect mid-ride stop
  • Return loop → south end via the Mall and back to Columbus Circle

The full loop with photo stops takes about 1.5 to 2 hours on a classic Trek bike, or just 45 minutes on a Velotric e-bike if you want to cover ground quickly.
