1. This park is the best place to ride a bike.

2. This park is the best place in which we can ride a bike.

3. This park is the best place in order that we can ride a bike.

Does #1 mean #2 or #3?
Does 'to ride a bike' modify 'place'?

"to ride" is the verb. It modifies nothing.
1 and 2 mean the same. 3 doesn't really make sense. We may know what is meant, but the words "in order that we can" are really meaningless.

I am too shorthand in the above. The predicate in the sentence, as you know, is "is". "To ride a bike" does modify place. "ride a bike" can be taken as the object of the preposition "to", a noun phrase describing an activity. "to ride" is also a verb. It does get confusing.

"To ride a bike" is an infinitive phrase.

It's serving as an adjective in sentence 1, describing "place."

Then, you mean that the following are the same.
Right?

1. This park is the best place to ride a bike.

2. This park is the best place in which we can ride a bike.

2-1. This park is the best place in which to ride a bike.

Yes, 1, 2, and 2-1 all mean about the same thing.
