Bicycle Ordinance
Bicyclists must obey the same traffic laws as motorists and may receive citations for failure to obey these rules of the road. The most common violations committed by bicyclists are riding against the flow of traffic in the bike lane, and failing to obey traffic lights and stop signs. During the evening and at night, a headlight and rear reflector are required on all bicycles being used in Ocean City.

Operation of bicycles, pushcarts, and EPAMDs on Atlantic Avenue (boardwalk) is permitted, as follows:

(1) Memorial Day through Labor Day, 2:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

(2) Weekends and holidays, May 1 through day before Memorial Day and day after Labor Day through September 30, 2:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Weekdays, no restrictions. The days of Springfest and Sunfest are to be considered holidays.

(3) October 1 through April 30, anytime.

Any person who shall violate this ordinance shall, for each and every such violation and/or noncompliance respectively, be deemed to have committed a "municipal infraction," punishable by a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than $1,000.00.
