The Atlantic City and Absecon, NJ train stations are 15 miles from Ocean City and bikes are allowed on that train line anytime. Other riders have their friends, family or spouses meet them in Ocean City so it's a good idea to check with the other riders to see if you might be able to get a return ride back to Philly.
