Hoboken, NJ Just Ranked as the State’s Number One City for Cyclists. Here’s What Makes It So Bike-Friendly

If you're a big biker, you're going to want to put on your best bike shirt, grab your sunglasses, helmet, and water bottle, and spend a day biking in Hoboken, because it was just ranked as the best city in New Jersey for bikers, and the city doesn't even have a boardwalk!

I love going for bike rides, especially as my parents get older, it's a great activity we can do together that isn't too tough on their knees, so anytime they visit my wife and me at the Shore, we make time to go for a bike ride down the boardwalk in either Ocean Gate or Seaside when the opportunity arises.
