Cops say they're cracking down and ticketing bikers who exceed the park's 25 mile per hour speed limit. The move comes after a few pedestrians were reportedly run over by bicyclists who were going too fast.
But despite some reports of collisions between bikes and pedestrians, many say the speed limit is unfair.
"That kind of stuff happens, I'm sure they don't do it on purpose," said one parkgoer. "There is a bike lane and there is a people lane."
Others say as long as bikers stay in their lane, it shouldn't matter how fast they're going.
