We continue to be good citizens by working with DelDot in providing bike check events in the summer. Last year we were scheduled for 14 events but two were canceled due to weather issues. Still, we provided information and equipment to over 250 people and over 40 of Sussex Cyclists participated. In 2026 we have 16 events.

This year's checkpoints will run from June through August at various locations around Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. Each checkpoint will be posted separately on the Sussex Cyclists calendar for volunteers to register. The full schedule from DelDot may be viewed below.

No special skills are required. Activities may include distributing bicycle safety literature, making minor adjustments to bicycles, installing lights or reflective tape and giving out helmets.
