Bike Hunterdon, an initiative of goHunterdon, has developed a new campaign to help local businesses capture the impressive revenue generated by bicycle tourism.
"Hunterdon is well known as a bicycling destination," says Tara Shepherd, Executive Director. "You need only look around on a warm sunny day and you will see cyclists on many county roadways, along the D&R Canal Towpath, Columbia Trail, and other locations across the county," she notes. "Our goal is to help bicyclists identify businesses to visit."
“Bicyclists look for establishments like coffee shops, breweries, wineries, restaurants, and retailers where they can easily park their bicycle, grab a bite to eat and re-fuel,“ says Caryl Harris, goHunterdon Bicycle Specialist. “Our goal is to help the business community to understand the types of amenities that attract cyclists and to identify businesses where bicyclists are particularly welcome."
Hunterdon businesses and destinations are invited to request a free "Cyclists Welcome" clear decal that may be displayed on the front door or window of the business or destination.
