Competitive cyclists must be banned from public space and possibly the entire city.
The Prospect Park loop is getting a redesign. The Department of Transportation announced this week that the eastern stretch between Grand Army Plaza and Park Circle will be repaved and restructured, turning what used to be two lanes into three. The new— an expanded center lane for cyclists flanked on both sides by pedestrian lanes, each demarcated by paint — is a pilot the city hopes will ease road-sharing friction.
But it won’t address the real problem with the loop, which is obviously men in their 40s trying to ignore the disquieting passage of time and the body’s slow decay by biking at competitive speeds very close to where I am walking.
