Get off the roads and on the trails with CycleNuts!
In a nutshell - CycleNuts is an alternative cycle touring experience where seeing and socializing take emphasis over speed and (ugh!) sweat. Join along on bikeway touring adventures to destinations near and far as we strive for the
- Goal: to create bikeway touring opportunities for cyclists of all types to enjoy
- Mission: to encourage casual cyclists and cyclists interested in casual cycling to tour together
- Vision: a united cycling community that tours together on bikeway adventures for the holistic benefit of all
What to expect - Casual social cycle touring where exercise is optional, everybody finishes together, and nobody is dropped, abandoned, or left to fend for their self (unless they wish to be). Expect an average pace of 11 mph average with CycleNuts’ 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. Pictures, merriment, and other tourist activities heartily encouraged. Allow ample time for the nature of CycleNuts tours including
- Trail-side breaks
- Eating and drinking
- Picture taking and posing
- A comfortable 11MPH pace.
- Looking at cool stuff along the way
- And other sorts of tourist activities – as well as unforeseen detours, breakdowns, and delays of various sorts.
Helmets are not mandatory - CycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and unpaved trails. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides. Lights in good working order at all times on CycleNuts tours are a great idea – to be seen and to see!
SAG-free - CycleNuts tours, including travel and over-night accommodations, are self-supported with the slightest of guidance. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices. Emergency road support – if necessary – may be a creative, collective group effort or you may need to fend for yourself. Be prepared with options.
Where does it happen? - CycleNuts Group Meetup in PhilaDelmarva is a regional group dedicated to creating a community of cycling enthusiasts. Meet up in the great outdoors with others who enjoy biking as much as you do for weekly bikeway-focused rides. All are welcome - beginners, experts, locals, visitors, singles, couples, e-bikers, not-e-bikers, helmet-heads, and bareheaded bikers. We embrace the Philadelphia/Delmarva Peninsula area for cycling opportunities. CycleNuts Group Meetups is 4,000+ members strong with additional Meetup Groups to join in the Cleveland/north Ohio region and the Cincinnati/south Ohio region. All are free, of course, with no extra hidden fees or steps to join. Volunteer ride organizers are always welcome - get in touch with Fran. LET'S RO//

This is a Show, Rally, & Roll group ride. Show up, rally with whoever else shows up, and roll.
Experience Rehoboth Beach's oceanfront bikeways, boardwalks, beaches, parks, memorials, museums, beautiful trails, and more.
74% of the route is bikeways - trails, boardwalks, bike lanes, pedestrian/bike bridges; the rest is Google Maps designated "bicycle-friendly roads". This short 19-mile tour passes through several beautiful oceanside parks, including Cape Henlopen State Park, Fort Miles Artillery Park, and Gordons Pond State Park area.
Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk is a unique cycling opportunity, but it comes with seasonal bike and dog restrictions - "bikes are allowed on the boardwalk only from 5-10 am May 15-September 15. Dogs are prohibited from the beach and boardwalk May 1-September 30." Making an early start to the smart-guided tour gets you on the boardwalk for a relaxing ride and off in time to miss the peak pedestrian traffic.
Passing through Cape Henlopen State Park the tour route runs through history-rich Fort Miles Artillery Park. The World War II conflict is memorialized with several outdoor artillery artifacts, a museum, and numerous preserved batteries and lookout towers throughout the park.
Are you into beach biking or simply biking to the beach for sunbathing and a swim? Then remember to bring along a towel and beach essentials. The multiple beaches in Sussex County are along some of the cleanest waters in America. ["The U.S. Natural Resources Defense Council gave its highest five-star rating for ocean water quality to Sussex County beaches and ranked them cleanest among the 30 U.S. coastal states"](https://the U.S. Natural Resources Defense Council gave its highest five-star rating for ocean water quality to Sussex County beaches and ranked them cleanest among the 30 U.S. coastal states. "https://the U.S. Natural Resources Defense Council gave its highest five-star rating for ocean water quality to Sussex County beaches and ranked them cleanest among the 30 U.S. coastal states."). On the list along this tour route are Rehoboth Beach, Whiskey Beach, Deauville Beach, Cape Henlopen State Park Beach, Gordon's Pond Beach, North Shores Beach, Johnnie Walker Beach, and Savannah Beach.
Being known as "The Nation's Summer Capital" makes being well-equipped to satisfy visitors a mandate. Besides the CycleNuts suggested endpoint tasty stop (revealed with ticket), there are numerous other spots along the route to imbibe at will or satiate one's appetite. Overnight accommodations are plentiful, as well.
Easily, anywhere along the way, the tour can be detoured to nearby points of interest. This smart-guided route comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. If your bike has gears, you might use them to ease your way through the unpredictable invisible hills - also known as the wind. All bikes are appropriate for this smart-guided tour (even a single-speed if you do not mind the invisible hills mentioned). The route is shaded about 25% of the way. Sweating is optional (but probably unavoidable considering the oceanfront humidity) - you set your pace, starting time, and touring agenda.
Cycle tourists looking for a short destination bikeway tour along the oceanfront will love this adventure. Bike campers and bikepackers can overnight at Cape Henlopen State Park Campground along the tour route. Beach hunters will find no shortage of oceanfront property to lay out in the sun. Boardwalk enthusiasts might park their bikes for the day to explore the numerous attractions along Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, including Funland - a small amusement park and arcade. Bikefishing is chock full of opportunities in this area - "with so many fish around, beginners can practice their angling skills, while there’s also the chance to go after some true monsters for avid anglers." Marshland seekers should enjoy the coastal saltwater serenity of Gordons Pond Wildlife Area. These points of interest and more are on this SOL smart-guided tour!
