Volunteers Needed 2026 Bicycle Safety Checkpoints
Every year, Sussex Cyclists teams up with DelDOT and State Police to host bicycle safety checkpoints offering repairs, lights, helmets, and safety info to the public.
No special skills needed—just a willingness to help! Tasks may include handing out materials, making minor bike adjustments, and installing lights or reflective tape.
These events are also a great way for members to connect, socialize, and bring guests along to get involved. It's a fun, rewarding experience for all!
Please register only for dates you plan to attend. All dates are on our calendar. Registration opens at least one month in advance as the season progresses. You can register on the Sussex Cyclists calendar, or click here to see dates currently open for registration, with links to each.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you!

Ride of Silence
Approximately 45 riders took part in tonight’s Ride of Silence. Escorted by Lewes Police and Delaware State Police we rode just under 10 miles at an 11 mph pace. All to honor those who have been killed or seriously injured while riding. It was a great event.
