01 · Best for groups
Private Pedalcycle — Seaside Heights: a rolling celebration
The Seaside Heights PedalCycle is New Jersey’s flagship 15‑passenger pedal tour built for groups who want energy and ease. Book the entire bike for a two‑hour private ride and you’ll find seats on both sides, a bench at the rear, and a guide who helps coordinate stops. The operator positions the PedalCycle as ideal for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, company get‑togethers and team‑building events, converting streets and boardwalks into a moving social venue where teamwork powers forward motion.
Practical notes: the ride is organized as an adults‑only bar crawl (21+), so it’s designed around a lively crowd rather than family sightseeing. The format removes the logistics of coordinating multiple rental bikes and gives groups a single, contained experience that’s part transport, part celebration. For groups staying near Toms River and exploring Seaside Heights, it’s a memorable way to anchor an evening.

Private Pedalcycle — Beach Haven: party by the shore
Beach Haven’s PedalCycle experience mirrors its Seaside Heights sibling in scale and spirit: a 15‑seat open‑air vehicle that turns local streets into a shared party. The operator highlights the bike’s social function—pedal, stop at top bars, and keep the group together rather than splitting into separate rides. Because the booking is for the full bike, hosts control the itinerary and the pace, making this a reliable choice for curated celebrations and private events.
If your shore plan centers on an evening of bars, music and group camaraderie, the PedalCycle simplifies coordination and gives you a single booking point. It’s especially useful for groups who value a contained, communal experience and who want an operator to manage the logistics so the group can focus on the occasion.

Five Week Rental — delivered coastal cruiser
The Five Week Rental is tailored to visitors who plan extended stays on the Jersey Shore. The operator’s service includes free delivery and pick‑up between Point Pleasant and Lavallette, and the weekly rental cadence runs Sunday to Friday: bikes are dropped off Sunday morning and collected Friday evening. Each rental comes with helmets and locks, and customers may add a basket for simple gear storage. That delivery model removes friction for multi‑week guests who want a reliable, ready‑to‑ride cruiser without trips to a storefront.
For travelers renting a beach house or staying in a nearshore apartment, a multi‑week rental like this replaces the need to pack a bike and gives the freedom to explore boardwalks, seaside paths and quiet residential lanes on a daily basis. Inventory, colors and exact models may vary, so expect some variation in appearance but consistent service in delivery and retrieval.

Month‑long visitors and seasonal workers will appreciate the simplicity: no storefront visits, no transit to pick up equipment, and a predictable rhythm that fits most shore calendars.

This package works well for travelers who want to mix long rides with short boardwalk spins—daily cycling becomes effortless when the bike is delivered to your door. Optional baskets make packing towels and snacks straightforward; if you plan to ride often, a multi‑week rental both saves space in your vehicle and reduces the hassle of repeated rentals.
