Welcome to the Delaware Bicycle Council website. Bicycling is a sport, a means of transportation, and a family activity enjoyed by so many Delawareans. The health benefits of cycling are not limited to the cyclist, we all benefit from the reduced air emissions from vehicles when someone chooses to cycle to work or go for a bike ride rather than drive to a gym.

Creating more bikeways and encouraging and enabling safe cycling is one of my favorite aspects of Livable Delaware. We have recently implemented the Safe Routes to Schools program with the goal of increasing the number of children and teens who can choose to bike to school. Have you noticed that whenever DelDOT repaves a road, a bike path shows up alongside? I want people to truly have the choice - to take a car or a bike. And we're getting there, road by road.

The job of the Bicycle Council is to help inform us of ways to improve biking in Delaware. Your input is so important, please take the time to give us you thoughts…and get out there and ride!
