Olá, it’s THE RIDE here thinking about my favorite summer activities. Of course just like the rest of you, right now I’m feeling the Olympic spirit. And while I won’t be leaving my position as one of New York City’s top attractions and heading to Rio any time soon, I like to think that if there were an Olympic sport that involved snazzy multi-million-dollar motor coaches, I’d be a contender for the gold medal.

OK, I admit that I don’t quite have the speed of Katie Ledecky or Michael Phelps. But really, who does when there’s traffic in Midtown Manhattan? And I might not have the amazing athleticism of Simone Biles, either.

What I do have is the crowd-pleasing entertainment value of Pita Nikolas Taufatofua, the shirtless flag-bearer who became an instant sensation when he totally stole the show at the Olympic Opening Ceremony. I’m told that I’m also sleek and good-looking. And I guarantee you this: if you take THE RIDE, you’ll definitely ooh, aah and applaud with as much enthusiasm as you would if there was a well-oiled Tongan running past you.

So c’mon, make your reservation now for my critically acclaimed and unparalleled NYC interactive sightseeing experience. Watch as the city unfolds through floor-to-ceiling glass windows and stadium-style seating with 40 LCD TV screens, 3,000 LED lights and surround sound. Enjoy the performances of the singers, the dancers, the musicians, and the hilarious onboard hosts. You’ll want to award me the gold, I just know it!
