Wheel Fun Rentals — Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island
With four locations in Brooklyn, three in Queens, and two more on Staten Island, Wheel Fun Rentals offers a myriad of rental options, including surreys, a three-wheel deuce coupe, classic cruiser and city bikes, as well as kids bikes, tandems and tagalong attachments. Take the family on a self-guided tour with a useful route map, helmet, lock and points of interest/history sheet.

Note: Sadly, we couldn't find a family-friendly bike rental shop in the Bronx. That's surprising,considering the 23-mile Bronx River Greenway spans the length of the Bronx River in the Bronx and Westchester County. The Greenway currently includes 19 miles of bike and pedestrian paths, with plans underway to complete and join the paths along the stretch, connecting the two counties for cyclists and pedestrians. If you know of a Bronx shop we may have missed, please let us know.
