A New Jersey-based company will operate pedicabs, like the one shown above, on the Boardwalk beginning Memorial Day weekend.
A new pedicab service is coming to the Ocean City Boardwalk.
On Tuesday, the Ocean City Council awarded a newly created Boardwalk pedicab franchise to Atlantic Pedicabs LLC, a New Jersey company currently operating pedicab rides at the Jersey Shore and in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The vendor was one of three bids city staff reviewed and accepted during a proposal opening held April 21.
“Upon review of the accepted submissions it was clear that the submission by Atlantic Pedicab LLC scored the highest marks in the evaluation criteria matrix that we developed, as well as the highest on an aggregate score basis,” Procurement Manager Matt Perry told the council this week.
In February, the council voted to solicit bids from operators interested in entering into a franchise agreement for Boardwalk pedicab services. The service would replace the Boardwalk trams, which were pulled from operation in 2024 after a police investigation into a tram fatality revealed a series of motor vehicle violations.
The council’s decision to pursue a pedicab franchise follows pleas from community members and requests from the Ocean City Development Corporation (OCDC) to find a replacement for the Boardwalk tram service.
That’s cheesy!

On a crowded boardwalk in the summer, I don’t see this working out very well. I think like the boardwalk tram someone is going to get injured. It will be like a crowded street in Mumbai India! Leave the boardwalk to pedestrians only. If they want to do this, then build a separate bike lane away from the boardwalk.
I guess they didn’t like my rickshaw proposal. 😀
The inbred tourons you clowns keep electing do dumber and dumber things every single day.
