Cycling in New York City in the century, bicycling resurged. A narrow, physically separated bike lane on Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan was unsuccessful and consequently eliminated; however, bike lanes on major bridges were created, refurbished, or improved, and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, in partnership with other agencies, created the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway and other bikeways. The Department of Parks and Recreation also added a vendor program to provide "hop on, hop off" bicycle rental services across various city parks. The linked network of bicycle rentals is facilitated through concessions in Central Park, Riverside Park South, West Harlem Piers Park
