The Golden Bicycle Helmet Goes to – Of Course – Governor Jack Markell
At the annual Walkable Bikeable Delaware Summit on Thursday, Delaware’s highest award for service to cycling – only awarded twice before – went to Governor Jack Markell.
Some decisions are hard. Some are easy. Awarding the Golden Bicycle Helmet to Governor Jack Markell – the most bicycle-friendly governor in America – was the easiest decision Bike Delaware has ever made. This slideshow explains why:
Delaware has been amazingly lucky to have as its governor for the last 8 years the most bicycle-friendly governor in America.

Thanks for your visionary work for bicycling in Delaware, Jack.
We rode bikes with Jack at Battery Park, great day and park!
Great Governor and better person.
See ya Sunday Gov!
Thank you Governor Markell. We also enjoyed the ride in
Yay to more safe biking and walking paths 🙂
Will the issue of few rest areas/bathrooms on many of these paths be addressed? There is only one restroom building in all of Battery Park, and on the New Castle Industrial Trail there are none. Families with kids would appreciate more rest areas, because no one wants to be involved in an accident of that kind, either.
Governor Markell will you please widen New Road in Sussex County before a pedestrian or bicyclist suffers? Thank you.
Wish some of that money was going to our homeless vets. Millions millions spent on bike paths. Homeless still living in the woods. Go figure.
Elda Banks! 😄
Love Gordon’s Pond Trail & the Canal Trail along North St. George’s & don’t forget to have a terrific sandwich @ North St. George’s Country Store! 😄 🚴 😄 🌯 😄 🚴
