Bikers Allowed Back In Trexler Park Full Time

Allentown Council lifts bicycle restrictions at Trexler Park
Emily Opilo | The Morning Call

"Allentown City Council voted Wednesday to end a longtime restriction on the days that bicyclists can use the park.... City Council approved the measure 6-1, with council President Ray O'Connell casting the only no vote. Previously, cycling was permitted on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays in the park"

My Comments About The Article AboveBikers can ride everywhere. City streets, every other city park or one of the millions of dollars spent for these hundreds of miles rails-to-trails. Walkers had one respite only four days a week. Now it's been taken away completely.

I can't tell you the number of times a biker yelled at the wife or me, "BIKE LANE" when she or I dared to get even near the marked lane for the spandex crowd. No way in hell the 10 mph speed limit is going to be enforced everyone knows that. Tell me how we're suppose to keep our 3 year old twin granddaughters in check. Are we supposed to put leashes on them like dog walkers who are now threatened as well?

This is so wrong !
The city's now talking about having dedicated parks just for dogs. Why not just one dedicated to the elderly, joggers and those too young to understand just unto themselves?

In NYC Central Park Cyclists Hit Pedestrians 35 Times in 2014. I'm sure we being called the "Little Apple' ought to be able to emulate a few of our own like the one which killed a 19 year old in this same park about this same time of year in 1989.
