Free Bicycle Rental in Lower Manhattan
You can now rent bicycles in Lower Manhattan for FREE! Perfect for families, you can even get bikes with baby seats or Tag-a-longs (those kid bike add-ons that turn a bike into a tandem perfect for young bikers to safely ride with a parent). They have wagons too!?
Bike Around Downtown is a new program that lets you borrow a bike for a two to three-hour window. You can register online and pick up your free bike at the South Street Seaport Bike and Roll booth. From there you can bike up the Greenway up the East or West sides, or even head over to Governor's Island. (By the way, I noticed that they are also renting-not for free- bikes on Governor's Island now, with tag-a-longs available there too.)
There are 30 free bicycles available for each of the sessions below:
Monday through Friday:
• 9:00am-11:00am
• 11:30am-2:00pm
• 4:00pm-7:00pm
Saturday and Sunday:
• 9:00am-1:00pm
• 2:00pm-7:00pm
Bicycles are available on a first-come, first-served basis/ Pre-registration is required.

A cyclist primarily requires a well maintained and functional bicycle. Bicycle maintenance is easy and it needs only basic tools. Always choose a bicycle that suits the rider's ability and the kind of riding.
