SDBC Weekly Update

Amazon Smile

Do you shop at Amazon.com? If so, it’s easy for you to help SDBC receive donations from Amazon to SDBC. Just use the “Amazon Smile” charitable process in your account. Amazon Smile funnels a small percentage of their eligible purchase revenue to SDBC if you activate Amazon Smile in your account and choose “San Diego Bicycle Club” as the beneficiary nonprofit.

Instead of logging in through "amazon.com" you log-in through “smile.amazon.com.”  Very easy to use. It is EXACTLY the same shopping experience.  Nothing changes except SDBC receives contributions from Amazon.

  Have you Moved in the last year?

  If so, please email your new address to
  membership@sdbc.org

  Thank you.

2018 SDBC Sponsors

We have a couple of new sponsors this year - Liquid Solana Beach, our Saturday ride coffeee stop (AKA Solana Beach Coffee Company) and ROKA a perfomance design company that designs and sells performance eyewear, apparel & equipment.

Emerald Textiles will continue as our title sponsor, UC Cyclery is continuing as our official bike club and sponsor of the men's and women's Cat 1/2 teams, and all of our sponsors that supported us last year will continue to support us this year.

Please support our sponsors. Without them SDBC would not be able to maintain the racing teams and other activities that we have all enjoyed. Visit the sponsors page on the SDBC web site to view more information about each of our sponsors or click the logos to go the specific sponsor's web site.

Interested in advertising with us? Please email our Sponsorship Director for details.

A Note From The Bike Coalition Liaison

San Diego Bicycle ClubSDCBC Logo

PENDLETON ACCESS REGISTRATION

It's a new year so if you plan to ride on the base, it's time to renew: http://www.pendleton.marines.mil/About/Base-Information/Base-Access/

PENDLETON: RIDE SINGLE-FILE OR ALL CYCLISTS MAY LOSE ACCESS
Camp Pendleton has asked Caltrans District 11 to remind all local bicycling organizations about the single-file rule on base. They say that if side-by-side riding continues, "cyclists may be pushed back onto I-5".

I responded that their signs at base entrances explaining the rules explicitly allow two-abreast riding, and Udo Heinz was riding single file at the road edge with his buddies when they were hit by a bus and Udo was killed. No reply to that, but in the mean time I wouldn't push anything there.  It's their base and they can ban all cyclists for any reason, justified or not, so let's not give them one.
