In fact, more than one in four of our visitors rides a bike when they visit. That is why we are thrilled to announce that Free Bike Fridays will be back on Governors Island this summer. Thanks to Bike and Roll, visitors can borrow a bike on Friday for up to one hour, entirely for free. You can of course also bring your own bike to the Island every Friday, Saturday and Sunday when we are open, or you can rent one once you get here. Free Bike Fridays were so popular in 2008, that this year, we are doubling the number of bikes available for visitors to use. And, since we are opening the entire 2.2 mile promenade to the public this summer, the public can now enjoy five miles of car-free biking right here in the middle of New York Harbor.
