Remember these routes are on shared public roads; recommended for experienced cyclists who are comfortable riding with traffic. Shoulders come and go in Somerset County, so if you’re new to the area, consider driving the route beforehand. Definitely not kid friendly. Please be a good citizen and follow the NJ Bike Laws.
