speeding ticket
Hmmm. Interesting discussion. Keep in mind that the most likely place
to get a bicycle speeding ticket in NYC is on the roadways of Central Park. There is a specific bicycle limit that is fairly low (something like 25mph) and is meant to protect the joggers/bladers/little old ladies crossing the street. |

It's not so much the speeding tickets but the tickets for going through
lights that have been given to me on several occasions. I've also been ticketed for biking in Washington Square Park at 7:30 AM on a cold winter morning. Guess there bike tickets are built into the cost of living in NYC. ------------------------------------ victor |

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't occur to me to ride through Washington Square Park. I've run a light or two (though usually I don't), but if I were caught, of course I'd get a ticket. -- z e l d a b e e @ p a n i x . c o m http://NewsReader.Com/ |

Could you please enlighten a non-New Yaw-w-w-wkah: Why don't the powers-that-be permit or wish one to bicycle this park in particular? Or parks in general?? 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. |

Could you please enlighten a non-New Yaw-w-w-wkah: Why don't the powers-that-be permit or wish one to bicycle this park in particular? Or parks in general?? There's no place for people to ride there. It's a small park, and is full of peds day and night. People sit around on benches, or mill around watching buskers and whatnot. 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. Actually, your question puzzles me. Larger parks, like Central and Prospect Parks, have bike paths. Why would you want to ride around in a dinky, crowded little park? It would take about 30 seconds to get from one end to the other...assuming you didn't run down a ped on the way. Little children, I can see... -- z e l d a b e e @ p a n i x . c o m http://NewsReader.Com/ |

Little children, I can see... 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. |
