CHREM v. CITY OF NEW YORK

We reject plaintiff's argument that defendants improperly created a condition that was concealed and dangerous to bicyclists, on a path that defendants knew or should have known was being used by bicyclists. As a matter of law, the possibility of a steep drop-off in the back of a dirt mound that is rounded in the front is inherent in the activity of riding a bike in an area that plaintiff knew or should have known is not designated for bike riding, and, in any event, did not create a danger over and above the usual dangers of that activity (see, Schiavone v. Brinewood Rod Gun Club, 283 A.D.2d 234, 236-237).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
