Many thanks to Scott Skogmo for capturing and sharing fantastic photos of our 18 mph group rides!

If you have any photos to share, please email them to SussexCyclistsDE@gmail.com.

Sussex Cyclists recently held a tire changing event at Dewey Beer in Harbeson. Brian and Ben from Lewes Cycle provided a hands-on demonstration filled with many useful tips. Attendees were able to practice on their own wheels. Mike from Dewey Beer gave a tour of the brewery and the beer making process. Pizza Machine pizza was made available by the Social Committee. It was a fun and informative night thanks to everyone who participated.

What a group!  18+ mph every Sunday, all year long, even on Mother's Day.  Big thanks to Peter Boyson, for the photo!

Beautiful day for a ride. Today was the Legislative Ride to Dover. Sussex Cyclist was very well represented. This ride ends at Legislative Mall when we meet with groups who rode in from the north. Great ride, great cause.

I want to thank everyone who called, sent cards, connected on Facebook and came to John’s Celebration of Life. John put his heart and soul into Sussex Cyclists and was very happy that he was able to turn the reins over to a new administration knowing it was in good hands. The outpouring of care and concern from the group has been overwhelming ( in a good way). The arrangement sent for the celebration took my breath away. Thank you for honoring him.

From Delaware News Journal (Delaware Online) - April 30

Speed limits reduced on Route 1 from Dewey to Fenwick as part of proposed safety measures

Key Points:

• Speed limit reductions on Route 1 between Dewey Beach and Fenwick Island are part of safety proposals that include crosswalks with flashing lights and a separate bike and pedestrian path.
• The Delaware Department of Transportation said the changes were prompted by concerns from a coalition of North Bethany residents and business owners and public survey responses.
