Forgotten no more, Delaware cyclists teach kids lessons of Black cycling superstar
This system is led by Lawrence Manley of UrbanPromise Wilmington, a nonprofit Christian youth group. Manley stated the biking mentors play a giant position in driving house the teachings the youngsters can study from Taylor’s story.
“To have completely different folks from the group are available and reinforce these messages and likewise be examples, I feel is a extremely large factor,” Manley stated. “It sends a strong message, much more highly effective than if we had been simply studying a e book at school.”
Taylor’s triumph has been largely neglected. Maybe that’s due to the lesser curiosity in professional biking in comparison with different sports activities, particularly for a Black athlete competing within the Jim Crow period. His story has even come as a shock to followers of the game like Corridor.
“Main Taylor wasn’t a kind of those that I used to be taught or that I used to be related to as a teenager, and I didn’t discover them in all probability till about 10 or 11 years in the past,” Corridor stated.
The shortage of recognition for Taylor can also be one of many matters the teams mentioned at their on-line assembly on Monday.
“We talked in our room about how come I by no means heard of this man? Why is that? What doorways did he open? Who adopted him or why didn’t extra folks comply with him?” stated Lynne Tolman, who directs the nonprofit Main Taylor Affiliation in Worcester, Mass. “The children themselves introduced up quite a bit actually, you already know, they actually lower to the chase. So, I get pleasure from that.”
“He labored so laborious to get the place he wished to be,” stated Ethan Raines, an eleventh grader from Wilmington. “Having all the things thrown at him due to the time interval he was in and all of the issues he would have struggled with due to his race, and he nonetheless determined to be the perfect anyway.”
Whereas Taylor’s life is the main focus, the group additionally talks about their enjoyment of biking, in an effort to develop a love for biking as a reputable sport among the many younger folks.
“A few of the youngsters I talked to throughout these discussions talked about how they by no means actually considered biking as a aggressive sport, as athletics,” Tolman stated. “They considered bikes as like a Christmas current, a toy for youngsters, as a plaything.”
Bess Scott, with the Capital Metropolis Cyclists in Dover, stated she hopes this system encourages extra Black younger folks to hitch the biking ranks.
“For me personally, it’s exposing our group to individuals who might not know that there’s a complete group of Black cyclists throughout the USA and throughout the globe. Perhaps they don’t assume it’s a factor,” Scott stated. “Perhaps that’ll assist among the youngsters to start out that exercise as only a common a part of their life like we did. It was a standard factor for us to experience round.”
As a part of this weekend’s Wilmington Grand Prix biking races, a few of these youngsters will take their bikes for a couple of laps on the downtown racecourse. The Main Taylor Journey occasion will provide group members an opportunity to deal with the USA Biking sanctioned course at no cost beginning at 11:15 Saturday morning. Later within the afternoon, among the high biking execs within the nation will race alongside the identical course.
The group experience can also be a part of an effort to unfold the phrase about Taylor’s life and accomplishments to the broader group.
“It’s not a shock to me when my household or a good friend or someone doesn’t know something about it,” Corridor stated. “What ought to be shocking, what we ought to be working to alter is why all of our mates who cycle might not know. I don’t imply simply our Black mates who cycle – I imply our white mates who cycle or our Asian mates who cycle. Anyone who’s on a motorcycle ought to have some sense or some understanding of connection to who he’s.”
The Wilmington Grand Prix returns for its 14th yr of races and group rides by way of and across the metropolis of Wilmington this weekend.
After two years of race cancellations, high cyclists competing in USA Biking Nationwide Racing Calendar shall be again to deal with the course by way of downtown Wilmington and up Brandywine Park’s difficult Monkey Hill.

The story behind the Kalmar Nyckel
Here’s the story behind the Kalmar Nyckel, the Swedish Mayflower of the Delaware Valley. 10/29/24
Sunday’s autumn weather was perfect for the inaugural Delaware Fall Festival.
The event took place at Battery Park in the historic Old New Castle area of New Castle, providing the ideal setting for a community gathering and a worthy cause.
The free event was organized to raise funds and awareness for the New Castle Outdoor Recreation Coalition’s planned expansion of the park’s playground. Phase 2 of the Battery Park Playground Project will feature a replica of the Kalmar Nyckel, the Swedish flagship that brought settlers who established the first permanent European settlement in the Delaware Valley in 1638.
The festival featured live entertainment, children’s activities, and various food vendors.
Renee Duval, a three-year resident of New Castle, attended the festival with her husband and two children. As regular visitors to Battery Park who often stroll the path near Deemers Beach, they were excited to explore the event after hearing about the food trucks, music, and vendors.
Among the vendors was Theresa Batts, owner of Batts Concessions from Hartford County, Maryland, who learned about the festival through social media. She said the timing was perfect. She and her husband prefer to sell on weekends, but it is very hard to find events on a Sunday. And this weekend, they were celebrating their business’s first anniversary. Batts Concessions offered an array of treats, including kettle corn, homemade peanut brittle, various nuts, and cotton candy. When asked how sales were going, Batts replied, “Fantastic. No complaints. We would definitely do it again next year.”
Delaware Fall Festival organizers hope to make this an annual tradition for the historic waterfront community.

For many people, Thanksgiving means full stomachs, full hearts … and full roads.
According to AAA, travel over the Thanksgiving holiday is expected to set records. Jana Tidwell is with AAA.
“Nearly 217,000 Delawareans will travel 50 miles or more for the holiday,” she said. “That’s more than 20% of the population. Of those traveling in Delaware, more than 91% will travel by car.”
Tuesday and Wednesday are likely to be the worst travel days on the roads.
“The challenge with Tuesday and Wednesday is that holiday travelers will be mixing with commuters, especially in the late afternoon time,” Tidwell said.
Tidwell suggests traveling during off-peak times, like early in the mornings or after the evening rush hour. Whenever you travel, Tidwell says to be patient, follow the rules of the road, and avoid distractions like cell phones and eating behind the wheel.
AAA notes the window for holiday travel is longer this year, adding Tuesday before Thanksgiving and the Monday after to their definition of the holiday weekend. Tidwell says that’s because the advent of remote work and changes in school schedules have allowed for more flexibility in travel.
