I am one of the "three enthusiasts" mentioned and am a Middletown resident. We are now up to over 400 rides in the database 10 of which start in MIddletown and another 25-30 or so pass through.

They meet monthly at Pedal Power. I believe that they are taking the beginning steps to help make Middletown more bicycle friendly. I'm fairly certain that they've also spoken with city officials to gain interest.<br /><br />Last year they organized a great ride during October called the Fall Classic.
