I got pulled off my bike at gunpoint as I was riding through Edgewood Park on 10/31/13. The incident occurred under the underpass of the Edgewood Avenue bridge. My bike was stolen. If you see it, please contact the New Haven Police (203-946-6316, case # 13-52011).

You shouldn't have been alone, near dark, on a bike in that park. There have been plenty of robberies there this past year. The police can't do a thing about it, and politicians only talk. This part of New Haven is not a safe place.
I'm glad you're okay but you should not trust the police to make places like this safe for you.

This is how:

*Bela didn’t commute by bike her first two years here. She worried about her safety. But then she decided “that’s not me.”*
You can see from the article that the victim herself knew better, then changed her routine, and now suffers for it. Sometimes part of the blame IS on the victim.

I don't know if there is a "safe" park in New Haven. There were two law students who were jumped in East Rock Park a few weeks ago, in broad daylight, individually. Best bet is to always go with a buddy.
Sad, yes, but that is the state that New Haven is in these days.
If you want to ride or run for the pleasure of it, I recommend the Farmington Canal line, in HAMDEN, not New Haven. Or any number of the nice parks in our surrounding suburbs.
