Bicyclists heading through the Lewes and Rehoboth Beach areas this summer will have access to free safety resources thanks to a new checkpoint program launching in Sussex County.
The Delaware Department of Transportation is teaming up with the Delaware State Police and Sussex Cyclists to operate Bicycle Safety Checkpoints at various locations in the region throughout the summer months.
Anyone stopping at a checkpoint can pick up free safety information, trail maps, bicycle lights, and helmets. Basic bicycle repairs will also be available at no cost to riders.
The program is aimed at making bicycle travel safer for the wide range of people who use bikes in the area, including local residents, tourists, and seasonal workers.
