“I’ve ridden bicycles for years and have been taken off Route 1 once in a helicopter and twice in ambulances as a result of biking accidents with vehicles.”

Delaware Environmental Control Secretary John Hughes quoted about the dangers of Route 1 (Coastal Highway) between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. After 30 years, a 6-mile bike trail linking the two cities has been completed.

A 3.5-mile portion of the rail-to-trail opened in 2003; the recent completion comes after an agreement between the transportation department and developers.
