Bike Delaware Receiving Donations In Memory of Phillip Bishop


Phillip Bishop was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver on Brackenville Road in Hockessin while biking home from his job at the Pure Bread Deli in Greenville.

The owner of the vehicle has been found, arrested and charged.

The Bishop family has requested donations in lieu of flowers to Bike Delaware, working for a walkable, bikeable Delaware:

Phillip Bishop was a committed environmentalist and lover of the outdoors. He kept a garden at home where he grew everything from squash to sunflowers, and had a passion for backpacking and hiking. After returning from a two week backpacking trip in Montana last summer, Phillip was inspired to take up cycling, seeing it both as a way to get outdoors as well as simplify his life and carbon footprint.
