Any truth that bicycles are being banned on the boardwalk? I just
heard this yesterday and am really amazed if this is true. For

special and I believe is one of the reasons cited as to why the
boardwalk is so wide.
Asburycouple,
You are misinformed regarding this topic and making some incorrect assumptions.
Bike riding has ALWAY been banned on the boardwalk except between the hours of
6am to
9am
The width of the boardwalk has nothing to do with bikes or any other vehicles.

The best way to get a handle on the prostitution in your neighborhood is to
