First off, it's not a handful of cyclists. There are quite a few of us who enjoy riding on the boardwalk. I've never seen a single incident involving a pedestrian and bicyclist. I have however, seen bicyclist's have troubles with cars, particularly at night. It is absolutely absurd to think that I

Bikes and pedestrians on the boardwalk do not mix. It is a miracle that no one has been injured. It is a disgrace that the people in charge of Asbury's boardwalk and pavilions have done so little to enhance the boardwalk and it's pavilions to make Asbury even more attractive for tourists and

I'm sorry, but I disagree about the bicycles. Have you ever been to Wildwood? They have a similar boardwalk to our own, which has a dedicated bike lane. Same goes for the area in Los Angeles known as The Strand. You can't tell me that cycling and pedestrians don't mix in those places, because

Personally, I'd just like to be able to ride my bike after dark on the boardwalk, when there's hardly anybody there to contend with. I read on here somewhere that the ban is due to some kind of gang activity, and if that's the fact then it's sad that the good guys/girls have to suffer because of a

I'm looking at all this from afar, and I can understand how sometimes rules have to be made in order to prevent the potentialabuse of a situation by even one person. Life is full of rules like that, and it harkens back to what is so often said by teachers in school--"It's a shame that one

Had a wacky computer moment...how about a trail that runs from town to town along the ocean. I used to walk from Asbury to Belmar. A bicycle trail would be great, where you could actually go places. __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS

I would never use a bike lane that shares the street with cars in this country. Drivers are just not aware of bikes the way that they are in Europe. In Italy, everyone shares the street, but of course, there are mostly scooters there, and few bikes. Drivers are accustomed too being aware

Exactly. Your's is the kind of thinking we need. I'm fully prepared to continue to be attacked about this. Bring it on. But, I just want to say one thing. I agree that bicycles aren't respected like they are in Europe. Is it impossible to change that here in the USA?
