Important Info For Every Bicyclist
One of the Sea Isle City Police Department’s initiatives this summer is to enforce bicycle laws and educate the public about bicycle safety – and the importance of following “the rules of the road.” The S.I.C.P.D. reminds all bicyclists that they are required to comply with motor vehicle laws and:
·
Stop at stop signs
·
Obey traffic signals
·
Ride single file on the right side of the road
·
Have lights on their bikes at night
·
Kids under age 17 must wear helmets
Bikes on the Promenade:
Bicyclists are reminded that they are permitted on the Promenade only on weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 5:00 a.m. to 12 noon. Bikes are not permitted on the Promenade at any other time.

But taken together, all of these men played a large part in determining the initial day-to-day, and sometimes the long-term, direction of the city. It was their job.
