As E-Bikes Surge in Popularity, Local Leaders Debate Public Safety Measures

 A resident of North Cape May raised safety concerns at a Lower Township Council meeting, saying teens on e-bikes, minibikes, and dirt bikes are riding recklessly through the Clem Mulligan Sports Complex. Township officials are considering new rules or even a park-wide ban on such vehicles. Similar issues are being addressed in Wildwood, where e-bikes are banned from the boardwalk and violators face citations. As e-bike use grows, officials and bike shop owners stress the need for clearer regulations and responsible use, especially around public spaces.

Cape May Named New Jersey’s Most Charming and Picturesque Small Town

 We already knew this but, according to a recent article by FinanceBuzz, Cape May is celebrated for its welcoming community, beautiful outdoor spaces, and rich cultural scene. The town has been recognized as the most charming and picturesque small town in the state, known for its Victorian architecture, beaches, and vibrant atmosphere. Often described as "like a Rockwell painting," Cape May captures the essence of a nostalgic maritime town, with classic seaside staples like saltwater taffy and a lovely promenade. Beyond its timeless appeal, Cape May offers modern attractions such as local breweries, unique shopping experiences, and year-round events. In the winter, the town transforms into a cozy winter wonderland, adding to its picturesque charm. Whether in summer or winter, the town's beauty and community spirit make it a top destination.
