Scoot: No, they should have a place for anyone to park a bike.

So then why mention that he was "African American, no-less"? Is this at all germane to the discussion?? Also, according to WashCycle, the man on the bicycle was waved down and told to leave, not "chased off".

Given that there is currently no bicycle infrastructure at the memorial and NPS is doing it can to control crowds in an area over which multiple organizations are claiming authority, I don't have a problem with the prohibition on bicycles for the time being. This man was doing a lot of people a favor by walking his bicycle ... I wasn't there to see him being confronted by police so I can neither agree nor disagree with their discretion in this particular situation, but not everyone with a bicycle is so considerate.
