I spent a few weeks working in New York on a client project, but everytime that I went down, I took Amtrak and checked my bike in as luggage between South and Penn Station; so didn't rent.<br /><br />I will say that, while in New York, I had a pretty decent experience with buying stuff from Sid's Bicycle in Chelsea. Not sure what their rental policy is like, though. <br /><br />As I might've mentioned in another post, the cabbies in New York are extremely aggressive; so just keep that in mind when seeing peds hailing for one down the street. <br /><br />Otherwise, I rather liked riding around the city. Navigation is relatively straightforward because of the grid, and while traffic can be rather dense and heavy, drivers and buses were a lot more predictable in their behavior than in Boston.<br /><br />How were you planning on storing the bikes between the days of your trip? Or were you just planning on returning your rentals during business hours?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
