The League of American Bicyclists has named Sussex Cyclists a "Club of the Year" for 2008. This selection is based largely on our Bicycle Safety Check Point Program that we conduct with DelDOT, Delaware State Police, Safe Kids and the Traffic Management Assoc. Check points are set up in the early summer months along a busy,dangerous road and cyclists, many of whom are international students working here in the summer, are stopped and given lights, safety reflecting tape and helmets. Minor bike adjustments are made if necessary. These stops have made cyclsits and motorists more alert and accidents have declined.
