The 15 mile route is designed to include each of Jersey Citys 6 legislative districts known as Wards. The tour provides a police escort throughout the ride.

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $96k to $140k (+45%).
