Last night’s Bike Safety Event was attended by Sussex Cyclists Steve Graninali, Andy Blair, Chris Braudy, and Jim Prettyman. Also helping were DelDot’s John Fiori and Mary Roth and Jack Feherey from the Lewes Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Also joining us were officers Poorman, Burton, and Holton from the Lewes Police Department. We helped well over twenty cyclists.

Heidi Lerch, Allen Segal, Jim Futrell, Ray Grabiak, Jim Prettyman, and DelDot’s John Fiori participated in our first Bike Safety Check of the year. We had lots of activity, helped a number of cyclists, and handed out free safety equipment. It was a superb start to the season!

Starting May 31, the 17 mph ride is back for the season with Eddie Gross as the Ride Leader. Check out this week's ride here.

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.

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.
