Enjoy the freedom of pedaling your way through the Wildwoods and enjoy the sites, smells and refreshing sea breezes.
The Wildwoods, NJ – July 26, 2023 – Bike riding is a favorite pastime at the Jersey Shore, and no town seems to do biking better than the Wildwoods. The Wildwoods have coined the word ‘Bikeability’ to capture all of the amazing opportunities for biking in this seaside resort.
Bike Routes
From a lengthy and scenic bike path to bike lanes along popular roads, to biking along the boardwalk, there are many ways to enjoy the Wildwoods on two wheels. Bike and surrey rentals are plentiful, in case you’re unable to bring your own bicycles to the destination.
A FREE bike route runs nearly the entire length of the island, beginning at Rambler Road in Wildwood Crest. The bike path stretches from the Wildwood Crest Dunes Bike Path, up onto the Wildwoods Boardwalk to North Wildwood’s Mulberry Bike Path, to the North Wildwood Sea Wall. This route allows Wildwoods vacationers the option of a leisurely, or athletic, bike ride throughout the island.
A special ‘bikes only’ lane is dedicated to cyclists in North Wildwood along some of its major thoroughfares, from 1st to 26th Avenues along Surf Avenue and on the North Wildwood Sea Wall. This lane allows cyclists to safely share the road with traffic.
An early morning bike ride along the 2.5-mile boardwalk is a must for many. Bicycles, electric bikes, trikes, and surreys are permitted until noon daily along the scenic stretch. It’s the perfect way to watch the sun rise over the ocean and take in the morning’s fresh sea breeze. You can also stop at one of the many eateries or coffee and pastry shops on the Boardwalk for breakfast to get your day started.
Bike Rentals
Don’t worry if you had to leave your bikes at home to make room for your beach chairs! Bikes and associated equipment can be rented at reasonable rates from many bike shops throughout the Wildwoods – and most open at 6 a.m. for those interested in a Boardwalk biking excursion.
