FITNESS REPORT NIGHT RIDERS After-dark biking appeals to some Conventional wisdom says that when the sun goes down it is time to leave the local park. But riders at the Central Park Moonlight Rides in New York are far from conventional. At 10 p.m. on the first Friday of every month, they pass up urban night life to enjoy the tranquillity of an automobile-free park and a perspective on nature accessible at night. "There are no beeping horns, no traffic - it's just quiet," said Bill DiPaloa, a ride organizer. "You probably wouldn't go alone, but you are with these people, and then you end up at this beautiful, serene place." This is one of a handful of nighttime bike rides around the country that take place when cars - the biker's nemeses - are most easily avoided. Some rides are illuminated by moonlight, some only with the cyclists' headlights and others by the lamps of otherwise abandoned city streets. - New York Times News Service All rights reserved.
