Bike Downtown Manhattan...For FREE!

Now through September 30th, the second annual Bike Around Downtown program is officially ON!

What this means: Registered members (it's free to join) can pick up a free rental bike at the Bike & Roll kiosk at the South Street Seaport for a free three-hour session, courtesy of the Downtown Alliance. Bikes can be returned back to the Seaport kiosk, or at Bike & Roll kiosks on Governors Island, Pier A in Battery Park or 12th Avenue and 43rd Street.

Why do they call it a "free rental," you ask? Because, when you register, you'll be asked for your credit card to leave a deposit. For more details on availability of helmets, wagons, and baby seats, read on!
