Pick up a hybrid bike, helmet, lock, and map at Urban AdvenTours, across from Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. You get up to 24 hours to explore Boston at your own pace, with short rides to the North End and Beacon Hill and a longer route along the Charles River toward Fenway Park. No guide is listed.
“The streets are covered with construction equipment and the bike lanes are filled also. You have to ride in the lane of traffic and cars don't really look after you. Several times I didn't think I was going to make it home. After you get through the traffic and get on the bike lanes by the Charles River, it is safe. Do not recommend this trip as you cant see anything because you are constantly watching for cars.”
Pick up a Kona Dew hybrid-style city bike from Urban AdvenTours at 103 Atlantic Ave in Boston’s Historic North End. Your full-day rental includes a helmet, handlebar bag, lock, map, and lights. Friendly staff can suggest routes and local sights, while child seats and trailer options are available to rent.
