The mission of Bikeocnj.org is to help create a more bicycle-friendly Ocean City; to help educate & promote awareness on the issue of safety, to provide bike route information, and to foster a fun and enjoyable biking experience in our community.
We believe communities should be planned, designed and managed to ensure that people of all ages can bike easily, safely, and regularly. We believe that we can cost-effectively make the changes needed, to make our community a more physically active and livable place.
We advocate biking as a solution to our growing health concerns, environmental concerns, and local traffic congestion and parking problems. Biking is a “green” mode of transportation, with the benefit of being a healthy mode of travel.
We are a group of Ocean City residents who dream of the day when people of all ages can effortlessly bicycle throughout town without fear for our safety. When this day arrives, we will live in a special place - where we are healthier, breathe less carbon emmissions, drive on less crowded streets, easily find parking spots downtown, and more fully enjoy the Shore lifestyle. We believe that this day does not have to be far off.
