Number 25: Ride a Tandem Bike

Sunday 1st April 2012


 I had a fantastic 6 days in New York and if I had worn my Garmin watch I am sure I would have clocked up many, many walking miles!  We were at it non-stop day and night, so much to see so little time!  They call it the city that never sleeps, well whilst we were there we didn't sleep - much!  Well worth visiting and would love to go back! On our first day we went to Central Park and decided to hire a Tandem bike, and couldn't believe that there was actually a 15K run setting off and finishing in Central Park at the time!  We easily found a bike hire company and were soon on our tandem! Much hilarity and laughter followed as we tried to get our balance and pedal together!  We eventually succeeded and had a cycle around, singing Daisy Daisy as we went but due to the congested park we decided it was probably a better idea to exchange it for 2 separate bikes!  It made it very difficult cycling avoiding the 1000's of runners and spectators as well as the Rickshaws going through the park!  We specifically chose the Sunday to cycle as its the only day Central Park is closed to traffic!  Perhaps it would have been easier to dodge a few cars!  


Next time I would like to have a longer go but at least I can say I've done it!
