What can you visit in NYC?

From Times Square's billboards to the Brooklyn Bridge — these six iconic NYC landmarks are all within easy reach from our shop at 873 7th Avenue. Pick up a bike, pick your spot.

Times Square Broadway billboards with Velotric e-bike — bike rental Times Square from Astra Bike Midtown 0.7 mi from shop · 5 min
Landmark 01 · The crossroads of the world

Times Square & Broadway

Originally Longacre Square — renamed in 1904 when The New York Times moved its headquarters into the brand-new Times Tower at One Times Square. The famous New Year's Eve ball drop has happened here since December 31, 1907. The pedestrian plaza you photograph today only opened in 2009, closing off Broadway to cars between 42nd and 47th.

From our door at 873 7th Avenue, you're a six-minute ride straight down 7th to the heart of Times Square. Lock up and walk the Broadway theater district — twelve blocks of glowing billboards, theaters, and street performers. By far the best landmark to visit after sunset.

The High Line

An abandoned 1934 freight rail line whose last train ran in 1980 (carrying frozen turkeys). Saved by Joshua David and Robert Hammond's Friends of the High Line in 1999. Now a 1.45-mile elevated park. Bikes can't go on the High Line itself — lock up at any entrance and walk.
