I was running on the MUP and passed this point about 15 minutes before this happened.

Talk about a freak accident.

Damned motorcyclists are CONSTANTLY speeding down the Wantagh at well in excess of 100 mph. This is the second case I know of in which a motorcycle cut down a bicyclist on that path.

I, too, was there on Monday night, but I believe I arrived back at Cedar Creek by about 7:45. Minutes earlier, I had shaken my head in frustration as a motorcyclist shot down the left lane of the parkway at twice the speed (or more) of the fastest-moving automobile. Perhaps more police should be assigned to watch the parkway, rather than scold bicyclists who ride through the theater parking lot?

I forget...isn't there a guardrail along the highway separating it from the path? I want to say yes, but can't say for sure.

Edit, Google answered my question for me. The answer appears to be no.
I can't imagine why not. If there are any thoughts of closing the path, they should look to installing guardrails instead.

A horrible tragedy. There are often many families riding bikes, runners, walkers and inline skaters on that path.
