I don't believe Asbury Pedler was kicked out, rather I think he left.
Bikes are not allowed on the boards in other towns and people ride on Ocean Ave
and it seems to work.

I've seen the same thing that Werner is mentioning, and it's definitely trouble
in the
making.
It's also bad for cyclists like myself who mistakenly think it's a bike lane.
Keep in mind, they paved and painted the whole arean in a hurry, I believe
because of MM.
I also think the corner of Asbury Ave. and Ocean is another accident waiting to
happen. It's
sort of a blind corner.
And, the whole issue of bikes, bike lanes and Brielle cyclery on the boardwalk
is pretty
strange in my opinion. It just doesn't seem like the whole thing was thought
thru. As it
stands, biking is prohibited on the boardwalk from 12 pm on. I know many people
have an
issue with bikes on the boardwalk, but it surprises me that nobody has an issue
of putting
cyclists at risk, which is what we experience when we are forced onto Ocean
Ave. now.
It would've been extremely simple to create a bike lane on the boardwalk... or
someplace.
What kind of message does it send to cyclists who want to ride on the
boardwalk, but are
prohibited to, and then they see a bike store on the boardwalk. Even worse, the
AP Peddler
guy was kicked out of that location, and here we are again right back at the
same place.
