[Bent] Bent people from Finland visitin NYC

[Tapio Antero Osala]

Thank You for Your rapid answers.

I am not taking my bent with me. It's only a few days vacation and it
is not easy to take  my trike in aeroplane...

Just wondering if there are bents to rent e.g. in Central Park?

It would be nice to meet some of You there and see your bents and take
a short ride Central Park / Westside Greenway Path.

It was January 2003 when there was A LOT OF snow when I visited NYC my
first and only time. Only s hort visit in Central Park then...

During 21th - 24th Dec at daytime we have no schedule yet.

What about then? Where we can rent bents/bicycles?

(In the evenings we have program, e.g. Hair on Broadway, any more tips?)
