That explains why one wouldn't want to ride that park as a _ride_. I use small parks, parkettes and linking trails as transit corridors. It works pretty well for this small city. The idea that a particular part might be legally off-limits is surprising to me. I do this too but when I do, I slow way down--to about 5mph. There are also some wide (15'-20') sidewalks I do this on where there is no usable street for a few blocks (next to a trolley rail). I've ridden right past bicycle cops and said "Hi" as I went by. I don't think it's a big problem as long as you are going slow enough to be safe. It's stupid and dangerous to ride fast when there's lots of pedestrians on the paths. --Bill Davidson -- Please remove ".nospam" from my address for email replies.

Or parks in general?? preservation areas, yes - but not urban parks. In urban areas, any place is subject to abuse by those attracted to it. Parks tend to attract people on human powered wheels -- bicycles, skates, skateboards. Such people create a nuisance to the less visible, more vocal pedestrians. Pedestrians complain, the "parks are for people to enjoy at walking speed" rhetoric begins, and rules are made. In local urban, and even suburban areas, parks and library parking lots and such commonly have signs prohibiting skates and skateboards; I can imagine that in super-urban areas like NYC, big public parks might prohibit bicyclists. -- Rick Onanian |

There's barely enough room for the dope dealers to ply their trade in
Washington Square Park The little room that's left is needed for their customers to pretend to be "hangin' out". The dog run for the outraegeous sized apartment animals that **** there at will take up what space is left. Who wants to run into a dealer, doper, or dog, or smell dog/human **** anyway!

Granted my experience is quaintly provincial but I've never seen a park-posted as off-limits to bikes. Some hiking trails or wildlife preservation areas, yes - but not urban parks. |
