Here are the top five stories today in Myrtle Beach:

1. Bike enthusiasts take note! According to Myhorrynews, "Bicyclists in North Myrtle Beach may have to keep their bikes off the sand during the day in the summertime if city council decides they are a safety concern. The topic appeared on the council's agenda at its most recent meeting, but was tabled. Council plans to discuss the item in a workshop setting. Council voted to not discuss the possible ordinance until a public workshop because “council thought it should be brought up one more time." The proposed amendment to an ordinance would ban bicycles on public beaches from May 15 to Sept. 15 between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., according to public documents. The proposed change seeks to ban the use of “bicycles, tricycles or similar human, gas, or electric powered wheeled vehicles." The amendment would also ban those two-wheel vehicles on dunes or dune areas.Documents state that bicycles and electric bikes on the beach are a safety concern. The North Myrtle Beach public workshop to discuss the amendment has not yet been scheduled." Stay tuned for updates! (Myhorrynews)
2. The North Myrtle Beach Police announced the winner of its First Annual North Myrtle Beach Police Department's Christmas Card Contest!
