As someone who has loved Central Park as an oasis of spirituality, mystery, serenity and nature for all of my 66 years, the angry truth is that bicyclists and runners have come very close to destroying the wonder of this mythical and magical garden. Early Saturday and Sunday mornings are now a combination of swarming life-threatening high speed bikes and endless bull-horn driven charity and fitness marathons assaulting a once quiet island with rallying cries, screams and horns.
