Moniyan I belive. They did have a two hour bike ride in 07 I belive. I bike and live near Greenwood, they should consider a Bike Trial for a couple of hours in the summer and fall, if Bikers are respectful which i belive they would be it could work.

I spent this past weekend walking around Greenwood after having to lock my bike at the door. I wasn't able to get to some graves on the otherside beacuase the place is so big. I will also send a letter. I COMPLETELY agree. I spent this past weekend walking around Greenwood after having to lock my bike at the door.

This was a park then a cemetery. Central Park was designed after this beautiful landscape. Do your research forgotten ny seriously. Take a walk thru you will see the lakes the ponds the hills. You should know this area was a vacation spot...picnic spot ...healthiest place park to be in during the summer months... for many manhatten families. Horse and Carriages had wheels, cars have wheels no different. They have their own police force inside Greenwood. I think they can handle bikers let alone the cars that run thru. The first wedding was actually held inside Greenwood last summer. Never allowed before. Something has to change. Time to get a petition going. This is a true gem. They could have their own bike tours. Bikes should be allowed. This was a park then a cemetery. Central Park was designed after this beautiful landscape. Do your research forgotten ny seriously.
