CENTRAL PARK BIKE TOURS BRINGS YOUR BIKE TO YOU
NEW YORK, N.Y.: September 21, 2010 - Central Park Bike Tours takes the trouble out of renting a bike in New York City. This company, one of the pioneers of New York City bicycle-tours and rentals, will deliver its bikes to customers at Manhattan hotels – and pick them up again at the end of the day.
“When we started in 1994, we were pretty much the only bicycle-tour and rental company in the Central Park area, “ says Tom Ahern, owner of Central Park Bike Tours (www.centralparkbiketours.com). “And our philosophy has remained the same since then. We don’t care about being the biggest. We’re only interested in nurturing our reputation for innovative customer-service.”
For its “VIP” renters, many of whom come from out of town, the company takes all the hassle out of taking a bus or cab – or walking – to its store off Central Park. It cuts down on time, and it cuts down on cost. And customers can start pedaling the minute they walk outside their hotel.
In addition to rentals, Central Park Bike Tours is also one of the city’s leading bicycle-tour companies, leading guided tours into nooks and crannies and special places in Central Park that even some New Yorkers don’t know about. Customers pedal past beautiful meadows and old bridges and rarefied museums and horse-drawn carriages, and landmarks such as Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon International Peace Garden, the Wollman Skating Rink, and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. In addition, the company also offers tours of special neighborhoods such as Harlem, Brooklyn, Times Square, and Little Italy.
Central Park Bike Tours was originally discovered by “New York” magazine in the mid-90’s, resulting in a new wave of business. Shortly afterward, foreign tourists discovered the company. It’s still one of the few New York bike companies with an actual store.
“If you Googled ‘bicycle tours in Central Park’ in 2005, we were the only ones that came up,” says Ahern. “Now, there’s plenty of competition. But we’re still growing at the rate of 40% a year – so we must be doing something right. And we’d like to think it’s our customer-service.”

ZIP AVIATION PURCHASES NEW SIGHTSEEING HELICOPTER
NEW YORK, NY: September 7, 2010 – Zip Aviation, one of New York City’s leading sightseeing and charter-helicopter companies, has announced the purchase of a new Bell Helicopter. The helicopter is an advanced Bell 407, and it brings a new measure of speed, comfort, and technical sophistication to Zip’s already-modern fleet.
Zip Aviation, known for superb customer-service, takes guests on a variety of helicopter tours around New York City, ranging from the “Liberty Island” tour to the memorable “Over the Top” and “Grand Island” tours. New York stretches out from horizon to horizon and side to side before the aircraft, with an incomparable view of the world’s most exciting city, its greatest skyline, and one of its busiest harbors. Visitors get birds-eye views (nighttime or daytime) of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Intrepid, the Wall Street district, the harbor, and three states. In addition to the sightseeing tours, Zip Aviation specializes in discreet charters (often for celebrities or international dignitaries) and aerial photography, along with executive and special-event transportation. Its new Bell 407 – modified to be the only one of its kind - features a state-of-the-art “glass cockpit” system, a luxurious custom-designed interior of leather and maple, and an in-flight entertainment system with touch-screen technology.
"We’re really excited about this new craft,” said Itai Shoshani, owner of Zip Aviation. “We think it’s revolutionizing helicopter sightseeing…and our guests love it. The Bell 407 has a luxurious cabin, a smooth ride, and large windows with great visibility. And this is a specially-enhanced model. It’s the nicest 407 in the world, in fact - and the first with the special Garmin glass cockpit.”
The Bell 407’s six-passenger cabin allows guests to get up-close-and-personal with New York City - from a brand-new perspective. And it will allow Zip Aviation to expand its range of services to corporate and VIP clients, as well.
“Many of our clients are celebrities,” Itai Shoshani said. “But all of our clients are treated like celebrities.”
