Also a big shout-out to those who have donated to DCW in order to help Nathan Alexander, who is from Princes Town in Trinidad & Tobago. Between the donations and Roger Ferrell’s investment, this bike was shipped out to Nathan this week! We’ll track his progress this season and post updates!

On 12AUG1977
The Space Shuttle Enterprise
Was launched from the back of a special 747
But that isn’t the reason for this SAVE THE DATE notice

EC77 8142
7/26/77
Approach and Landing Test (ALT) crew in front of 747/Space Shuttle Enterprise: Fitz Fulton, Gordon Fullerton, Vic Horton, Fred Haise, Vincent Alvarez and Tom McMurtry.

On August 12th, DCW is planning a bicycle event you won’t want to miss.

It might not be able to compare the thrill of having been in the Enterprise as it disengaged from that 747, did a few turns and then landed but it will be a great event!

Ride details coming soon!

As one of the founders, and the President of, Duke City Wheelmen, I want to let you all know our policy on the placement of ghost bikes. We place ghost bikes for people killed while cycling. Our secular organization makes no judgement on who is “worthy” of a ghost bike.

We hope that you who support ghost bikes can understand and support the placement of ghost bikes without regard to race, creed, color, nationality, gender, circumstances of their death or any other characteristic.
