White Clay Bicycle Club voted LAB’s 2010 Club of the Year!

WCBC was recently chosen by the League of American Bicyclists as its 2010 Bicycle Club of the Year for region 2 (DE, MD, NJ, PA, WV and DC). This award is in recognition of WCBC’s rich, 37 year history of excelling at: reaching out to the community to promote safe recreational bicycling activities; offering cyclists multiple opportunities to engage in, develop and grow in the sport of cycling; and advocating the rights of bicyclists on a local, state and national level.

Most recently, WCBC has provided critical time, talent and seed money to assist Bike Delaware to get organized, incorporated and functioning to “promote bicycling as a healthy alternative to driving and to advocate bicycling safety provisions within our state transportation system”.

In addition, WCBC’s four popular and well-known, fully supported annual fundraising rides have allowed the club to donate over $7000 annually over the last five years to organizations such as: Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia; Bike DE; Wilmington Urban Bike Project; DE School Nurse Helmet Bank; DE Special Olympics, DE Autism Foundation; DE Greenways; Rails to Trails; USA Cycling Development Foundation; LAB and others.
