Thanks everyone! I’m happy to report I did the round trip ride this past weekend (before all the rain) from Rehoboth to Fenwick Island on Bike Route 1 in DE and it is just as the majority of posters have responded. It’s flat, a highway(ish) BUT with a huge bike lane shoulder (the size of a car lane), LOTS of wind coming off the water. The wind made a slow hard (but in a good way) ride going south and a very fast return trip. Literally half the time. The large very new bridge at Indian Point (is under construction) – riding south there is the full bike lane BUT currently returning north there is a modified small bike lane. When the construction is finished it will have a full bike lane coming north so it will be great. Next time I’m in DE I’ll plan a backroad trip for sure but this worked well for getting in those miles. Cheers! (Oh, one additional item, the section in Rehoboth on Route 1 has loads of car traffic and is a major major shopping area – my advice would be to leave as early as possible in the morning to avoid as much of this traffic as possible.
