Summer bike rides on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland, are only allowed in the morning, but that may be changing.

During the offseason, you can legally ride a bike on the nearly 3-mile-long boardwalk anytime. But that changes during the coastal town’s high season.

As it stands, from the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, you can only ride daily between midnight and noon
