Benjamin C. Dalley, one of the founders of Bike to the Beach, Inc., plays a key role in the charitable group’s organization of bike rides in Washington, D.C., New York City, and New England. The goal of the events is to raise financial resources for Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to promoting autism advocacy and research. Before each event, Bike to the Beach holds several training events for potential riders, including short rides and spin-a-thons, and each rider agrees to raise a minimum of $500 toward autism and biking initiatives.
The inspiration for Bike to the Beach began in 1999 when Benjamin Dalley and a friend rode to Bethany Beach, Delaware, from Washington, D.C. Ben Dalley and four other participants formally established Bike to the Beach as a 501(c)(3) charity in 2007. In 2010, Bike to the Beach held its first New York City ride, and the organization added a ride in New England in 2012. Upcoming Bike to the Beach events are scheduled in New York City on June 7, 2013; in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, on August 2, 2013; and in Boston on August 30, 2013.
