I am not taking my bent with me. It's only a few days vacation and it<br>
is not easy to take my trike in aeroplane...<br>
<br>
Just wondering if there are bents to rent e.g. in Central Park?<br>
<br>
It would be nice to meet some of You there and see your bents and take<br>
a short ride Central Park / Westside Greenway Path.<br>
<br>
It was January 2003 when there was A LOT OF snow when I visited NYC my<br>
first and only time. Only s hort visit in Central Park then...<br>
<br>
During 21th - 24th Dec at daytime we have no schedule yet.<br>
<br>
What about then? Where we can rent bents/bicycles?<br>
<br>
(In the evenings we have program, e.g. Hair on Broadway, any more tips?)<br>
