Fun in NYC - Rent a bike and ride the path by the water

You can rent a bicycle for around $7 an hour, and ride the flat, beautiful bike path that rings Manhattan by the water! (From the GW Bridge to Staten Island Ferry on the West Side; all up the East Side.) (Central Park has bikes too, but not such a flat ride, and a lot more work!) The only thing is, you can%26#39;t lock your bike up and leave it--it probably WILL be stolen. Just look up bike shops in the Yellow Pages.

Hooray! We bike all over NYC and it%26#39;s a great way to see the town. True, safety and theft are top concerns, but there are new bike paths being set up every month.

to find more bike shops that rent bikes, go to Transportation Alternatives:

Riding along the rivers in Manhattan in the summer is one of my favorite things.



It%26#39;s just beautiful...




Where, exactly, is Pamela?




Ooops--that should say NYC, not Pamela!





I%26#39;ve rented from Sixth Avenue Bicycles in Chelsea, and Liberty Bicycles, in Hells Kitchen. Both are in the link that QueensBoulevard gave. http://www.transalt.org/resources/bikeshop
