It’s getting insane. On busy cycling days, trying to cross the street in Central Park is a legitimate hazard to your health. It’s like playing frogger with a bunch of people who think they’re in the Tour de France.
It makes me unbelievably mad. In just the last few days I saw an elderly woman almost get plowed over (she subsequently started yelling at the cyclists, almost in tears), and a disabled person in a power assisted chair who couldn’t cross while the light was red, because nobody would stop.
If there’s nobody crossing, then fine, blow through the red light. But otherwise, just stop. I know it’s annoying to have your workout paused for 5 seconds, but you’re in a public park, not a private racing track.
