A Life In Tandem tells the extraordinary true story of Luke, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer aged 24. Given months to live, he sets off on a 20,000 mile cycle from Bristol to Beijing - on a tandem. Over 800 people join him, as Luke experiences extraordinary highs and devastating lows on this unique journey, and discovers what it is to be a 'CanLiver'.
Tickets are only available via this link: https://givebutter.com/a-life-in-tandem-urtoto. The theater and movie has been paid for by the Keystone State Ride. Here is a link to the trailer: https://youtu.be/5DcKGUShs_E
The Keystone State Ride (KSR) supports our riders as they cycle every September from Pittsburgh to Philly. Riders have raised over $80K for cancer research in our first two years. The KSR provides hotels (6), luggage transfers each morning, fully stocked rest stops, SAG support, and transportation to Pittsburgh. Learn more at KeystoneStateRide.com The event is also on our Sussex Cyclists calender.
"I was lucky enough to see this film in Lancaster, and have worked to bring this film to Delaware. I'm also a cancer survivor, and started a nonprofit in 2024 to raise funds for cancer research. The theater has been extremely helpful and generous in getting this movie into the US. I’m so excited that my friends will be able to see this movie. It’s such a great story. Thank you for supporting our organization" - Dave Wellborn

From today's Cape Gazette:
The Delaware Bicycle Council is making a second appeal to have signs installed on paved trails to make it clear that mopeds are banned.
During the group’s Feb. 4 meeting, council member Marty Lessner presented a draft letter addressed to the Delaware Department of Transportation again requesting signs.
The letter emphasizes signs should be part of a broader plan that includes education about state ordinances and enforcement of the law.
After the state rejected its recommendation to install signs in an Oct. 30 letter, the Delaware Bicycle Council decided at a Dec. 3 meeting to continue pressing for action.

Thank you to everyone who made it out to Nicola Pizza last night for our Dine to Donate. The turnout was amazing. We don’t have the figures yet but the 50/50 was won by our own Fern Goodhart.
It was a wonderful get together. Thank you to Denny & Fran Shook and Jim Prettyman for organizing and making the evening a success!
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.
