Free Bike Fri­days are back!

[cap­tion id=“attachment_1294” align=“alignnone” width=“300” caption=“Some of Gov­er­nors Island’s vis­i­tors enjoy­ing Free Bike Fri­days last year”]Some of Governors Island's visitors enjoying Free Bike Fridays last year[/​caption] Bik­ing is one of our vis­i­tor’s most pop­u­lar activ­i­ties on Gov­er­nors Island. 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.
