Despite challenges with weather and smoke, this month's Advanced Bike Camp was a fun week of service, exploration, and adventure for our campers. We built a bench for the new bus stop in front of our shop so transit users can sit comfortably while they wait, tried our hands at BMX biking and mountain biking, and biked from our shop to Lums Pond State Park - a 30 mile ride! We spent the night in the campground and enjoyed some time on the water the following morning before we called camp early due to smoke. Thank you so much to our volunteers and partners who made this week so special!

Honor freedom by riding forward 🚴🏾‍♀️✊

This Juneteenth, join a Freedom Ride along the JAM Trail connecting Wilmington and Old New Castle—a powerful way to reflect, remember, and celebrate.

As we mark America’s 250th anniversary, Juneteenth reminds us that freedom has been a journey—one carried forward by resilience, community, and continued progress.

🌿 Ride together in reflection
📖 Honor the stories that shaped our nation
🚴 Experience the landscape where history lives

Whether you ride the full trail or join along the way, this is more than a bike ride—it’s a moment to connect past to present.

This event is FREE to the public but registration is required.
