Central Park Moonlight Ride

10:54 PM EST on February 25, 2007

A fun, relaxing auto-free ride through Central Park. Enjoy the tranquillity of the park and its beautiful ponds and waterways: a nature lover's dream. Totally safe. Bike guides front and rear.

The ride moves at a very leisurely pace with a few stops to enjoy the scenery. The ride usually finishes before midnight, back at Columbus Circle. Total mileage is under 10 miles. Lights are not required, (although if you have them you should bring them), and any kind of bike will work.
