Summary
The board granted a special-event permit to Q Cycling LLC for the 'Monkey Knife Fight' charity bicycle ride on April 11 (rain date April 12), expecting about 500 cyclists and limited vehicle support on 10 Longswamp roads. Organizers said no pavement markings or road closures would be used.
Longswamp Township supervisors on March 10 granted a special-event permit to Q Cycling LLC for a charity bicycle ride scheduled for April 11, 2026, with a rain date of April 12. The event is expected to include nearly 500 bicycles plus two cars and two motorcycles and will traverse 10 township roads.
David Pryor, representing Q Cycling LLC, presented the request and stated the organizer does not plan to place pavement markings or enact road closures for the route. Mike Sacks moved to grant the special-event permit and Mark Hilbert seconded; the board voted unanimously to approve the permit.
The minutes record the permit approval but do not detail a traffic-control plan or required road-safety measures beyond the organizer's statement that no pavement markings or road closures would be used. The board's approval was recorded as a routine motion in the minutes. Organizers and residents should confirm any required permits or coordination with PennDOT or emergency services if the route uses state-controlled roadways.
