Sooo I stay at 207th st! Our lovely college- the city college of new York is on the 145th. So, sometimes I like to bike the distance. I always use the bike path to get to the college. Even though, the bike ride is great fun when I leave in the morning to get to the college, but when I am getting back home which I do normally at around 8-9 pm, that's when things start getting really difficult!!
Firstly, as soon as I enter the bike path, there is no lights of any sorts on the pathway which could easily lead to collisions between bikers and lead to severe accidents.
Because there is no light at all, it is difficult to see what is on the road and this has actually led to me falling off my bike due to a huge crack in the road in the middle of the pathway.
At nights, there is no one there which makes it a sweet soft for drug dealers and people of those sorts.
I remember I was once getting into the pathway at 8 pm when a man who was sitting there called out after me saying "why don't you just hand me your bike here itself!". That's the safety issue associated with the Dyckman bike path.
Something has to be done to make this path for safe and secure for bikers like me. After all, the path leads to the incredible Dyckman Marina and the beautiful Inwood park!!!
