Cape may is the absolute best place for riding a bike. I've been to
Cape May numerous times and always rented a bike. If you live in Cape
May you own a bike. Guaranteed. You will love it. It's a cyclist's
dream. I have friends who live in Cape May. They live right near the
Ferry to cross over into Delaware. They all ride bikes. Just go on the
internet and google bike rides in Cape May and see how many bike paths
and trails there are...it will amaze you. This one is the best....The
Route of the Gull..
The "Route of the Gull" which is Ocean Drive, is a scenic route that
links the barrier islands of Cape May County. The 40-mile stretch of
coastline from Cape May Point to Absecon Island (Atlantic City) is an
example of nature at its best. A bike ride along this scenic highway
provides a full day of entertainment as bike riders pedal along and
enjoy the beautiful views. Countless islands and a family of bridges
operated and maintained by the Cape May Bridge Commission provide the
link for bikers to enjoy this change of pace.
All Good Things,
Maggie
