About

Car-Free Earth Day is an annual car-free event hosted by NYC DOT. Programming is presented at signature locations citywide, to promote activism and education surrounding climate change, sustainability, and other relevant topics.

Unlimited Biking is partnering with Car-Free Earth Day to offer bike rentals for guests. Enjoy the car-free streets and take a bike ride to all of the activities that Car-Free Earth Day has to offer!

First launched in 2016, Car-Free Earth Day originally converted select Manhattan streets into public plazas and car-free streets for pedestrians, cyclists, and local businesses.

Car-Free Earth Day has expanded to locations throughout the five boroughs – connecting Open Streets, plazas, and accessing over 1,000 miles of NYC’s Bike Network! Environmental programming is offered by City agencies and community organizations along the routes to promote activism and education surrounding climate change, sustainability and other relevant topics. NYC DOT is proud to partner with local artists to bring exciting performances to the event.

Pick Up & Drop Off Locations:

Audubon Avenue: West 165th Street to West 166th Street
Washington Heights: St. Nicholas Avenue, 181st Street to 190th Street

*Please return the bike to the same location where you picked it up.

Important Information: The below is not a reservation, but will expedite the process. This is a registration for the one hour free bike rental. You will still need to check in on a first come first serve basis. Riders should drop off their bikes at the same location they picked up.
