Earlier this summer I have enjoyed the early morning light and biked on the full Central Park loop at 5 am. Now it is not light until 5:35, and soon it will not be light until much later.
Is it safe to ride in the morning before light?

I ride that early in the morning all the time ,
I think it's safe. Just be carefull of the cars(mainly taxis) they speed and don't stop at red lights that early in morning.

But cars are not allowed in the park before six. Right?

Frankly, I think it's less dangerous than evenings, when it's closed to cars. Both times have runners with earphones who suddenly run into your path without looking, but in the evenings, there's rollerbladers on cell phones.

I'll take the cars over runners and bladers any day as well. Cars are somewhat predictable, runners are not.

I absolutely agree
"And this is why I never sign those petitions to ""keep cars out of Central Park."" They at least offer structure. And Ivy points out that Central Park is at all costs to be avoided at weekends! When there are no cars. And someone pointed out on this board recently that if there were no cars in Central Park, the roads would not get repaired. Another very good point, but sorry, this is not really on topic."
