We are planning a bike ride up the Jersey Coast. We are Trump people and have Trump gear on our bike. Will we be safe and which coastal city would be best for us to stay at. I want to visit a NJ beach. Actually had idea to go to Hoboken and travel over to NYC but I no longer plan to entertain that idea.
Are there any areas with Lighthouses? I confess to being a terrible "googler" and Alexa seems to be as confused
Quoting: wvgal57 May I, as a native lifelong New Jerseyan, offer a suggestion?
The shore areas you want to ride through are checkerboarded; some won’t care about your Trump gear, others likely will, greatly, possibly to the point of physical altercation. Without living here it’s hard to tell. Around the Cape May area would probably be your best bet’ as it’s touristy and money means more than affiliation.
The Jersey shore in general also gets a lot of New Yorkers who hate Trump with a passion, and you’ll have to deal with them as well as our own left-wing idiots. Leave your bikes unattended for a few minutes with Trump regalia showing and you risk vandalism.
Oh, and whatever you do, leave any guns you have at home; the laws here are unbelievably strict compared to your home state, and any carry permits you might have back home aren’t recognized here. Even long guns are heavily restricted.
Instead of traveling the shore points, how about you travel up here to the northwestern part of the state, comprising Morris, Sussex and upper Passaic counties? Boatloads of Trump supporters here, and some of the prettiest scenery in the state. Many of us here consider ourselves a misplaced extension of Pennsylvania, and don’t really want anything to do with the rest of the state. If you ever come in the fall, we have the best leaf color drives outside of Vermont up this way.
Anyway, just my opinion. Hope you have a great trip, whatever you decide to do.
