that park in palm springs is definately a no bikes zone! they even had security patrolling the last time i was there,but the fence isn't very high if you want to sneak in after hours,trust me ;)  a few blocks down from that park is a church with 8ft transitioned walls all around it if you fancy a street ride :daumenhoch:

 Here's my local park at Lake Cunningham in san Jose last night.  It was so bloody hot yesterday. It was over 100'F at 6pm, so that dampened the turnout. The BMX sessions are Sunday morning 9-midday (hangover time), Tuesday afternoon 3-5pm ( everyone's at  work) and Thursday night 5pm -sunset ( fight the traffic if you can get off work early enough).

Lovely big park. Its big enough for everyone to have their own little area to play in.  I'm thinking about buying a hosue nearby... :)

Unfortunately bikes are still banned from the pools with proper coping

oops sorry. didn't mean to rub it in or make you feel bad.
 Before this park there was nowhere for bikes to legally ride around here, so this opening in May was great.


anyway i thought they dropped the farm from Emmerdale (farm). :LolLolLolLol:
