Explore NYC Like a Local, Ride Like an Insider

Welcome to Secret City Bike Tours, where we take you beyond the typical tourist routes to uncover the real New York—hidden alleys, forgotten histories, and the city’s best-kept food and cultural secrets. Our rides are built for locals, explorers, and adventure-seekers who want to experience NYC from the saddle of their own bike.

We don’t do generic sightseeing. We create immersive, story-driven experiences, blending history, culture, food, and cycling into unforgettable adventures. Whether you’re pedaling through historic NYC, tracing the footsteps of mobsters and revolutionaries, or indulging in a carefully curated burrito ride, you’re not just seeing the city—you’re experiencing it.

Who We Are

Secret City Bike Tours was founded by Jason Littrell, a 20 Year New York transplant, cyclist, and hospitality veteran who knows that the best way to see this city is by bike. Jason isn’t just your guide—he’s your storyteller, navigator, and fellow adventurer.

With years of experience in the bar and restaurant industry, Jason brings a unique insider perspective to food and drink-based tours. His love for history and urban exploration fuels rides packed with hidden landmarks, fascinating facts, and spots you won’t find on a Google search.

“I created Secret City Bike Tours because I wanted to build the kind of experiences I’d want to go on—rides that give you a deeper connection to the city, let you meet great people, and leave you with a story to tell.”

Storytelling, Not Just Sightseeing – Every ride has a theme, a narrative, and hidden details that make each stop feel like a discovery.
