About a month ago, the New York Daily News took a radar gun to Central Park to measure the speed of bicycles. They found 16 cyclists breaking the park’s 25-mph speed limit in a mere 35 minutes on Aug. 8. The fastest was going 30 mph.
I can only dream of speeds like that - and only then if I were going downhill. But since I'm a 'fraidy-cat about being that out-of-control, I'll never be the rider scolded by the NYPD. I think it would be fun to cycle Central Park though.
