"Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring."
— Archbishop Desmond Tutu
This Month's Highlights
Bikes4Kids - HPD, Delray Beach Police Department, Richwagen’s Bike Shop, and Patrick Halliday of Delray Beach Bike Club are working with Toussaint L’Ouverture Principal Major Joseph Bernadel on a bike rebuild and distribution program that will recycle lost and abandoned bikes collected by the Delray Beach Police Department into valuable resources and innovative projects for students. The program will include a friendly “competition” to determine best matches between students and bikes. Interested students will assist with bike repairs, be trained in safety and traffic rules, and be provided with helmets and lights. Students who demonstrate natural ability and enthusiasm for bike repair and maintenance may be considered for employment at local bike shops.
Bike 2 the Fourth - Leave your car at home and ride your bicycle to the Delray Beach July 4th Celebration. Free bicycle valet parking will be available, and we will have HPD staff there to watch your bike for you. (No need to worry about a place to park or the need to lock it up!)
Be HOT HERE at Delray Beach’s coolest event of the year. Located on A1A and Atlantic Avenue, this FREE event will feature back-to-back live music from Progression, a reggae band and Jimmy Stowe & the Stowaways (a Jimmy Buffet tribute band)! Family activities will include a Splash Zone featuring water slides and games, a Kid’s Corner hosted by the Avenue Church with face painting, craft activities, sidewalk chalk and much more.
