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. |

2018 SDBC Sponsors
We have several new sponsors this year - Mission Federal Credit Union is our official sponsor of the SDBC Bike Safety Rodeo & helmet giveaway program, 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. |

The ROKA Team Store for the San Diego Bicycle Club is now OPEN!!
San Diego Bicycle Club athletes will receive all special pricing (30% discount) and offers simply by logging in to their roka.com accounts.
There's a one-time step that each athlete must take to activate this system, and after that you won't need to do anything except log in for the rest of 2018.
Here's how to activate:
- Create an account at roka.com. (Or log in to an existing account if you already have one.)
- Click "ACTIVATE ROKA TEAM ACCOUNT."
- Enter your "team handle" and "team passcode", and submit. The handle and passcode for San Diego Bicycle Club athletes are listed below.
Team handle: SDBC (not case sensitive)
Team passcode: 3717
- You'll see a confirmation message showing that you're registered. Now you're done – go get what you need to ‘find faster’ this year!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you activate, your team prices will only show up once you begin checkout. We know this could be a little confusing and will work on improving it, but for now, rest assured that you'll get your special pricing – just not until checkout.
Once activated, this new system will auto-populate all team pricing any time you're logged in – i.e. year-round discounts, special "kickers" for promotions, etc.
We're currently running a closeout on 2017 gear to make way for our 2018 models. For the public, we're offering 40% off of 2017 Maverick Wetsuits, Viper Swimskins, and SIM Shorts, and 50% off Gen I Tri Race Apparel. We're kicking it to 50% off all those products for San Diego Bicycle Club athletes. Fair warning that sizes are pretty limited, but if we've got your size still, you can score big.
We're eager to help with any questions, as we do understand that this is a new system. Just email teams@roka.com or call +1 (877) 985-7652 any time Mon-Fri 8am-8pm CST and let us know you're with San Diego Bicycle Club.

| A Note From The Bike Coalition Liaison |
 
STEER FROM THE REAR!
When we have to move left like on Nobel before Regents, or on El Camino Real before La Costa, often the front is all the way across in the #1 lane (leftmost) while the rear is still in the #3 lane. The result is riders sprawled all over three lanes of the road. This can be dangerous.
One solution is to adopt what motorcycle groups do: steer from the rear. This means a rider at the very back moves over one lane first, then yells "clear!", which everyone repeats so those ahead can hear it and know to yell and move over. We've done this on D-1 and some of our other Development rides, and are doing it on the new C ride too. The more people that understand what's happening, the more smoothly it works. So please watch this video from CyclingSavvy:
https://vimeo.com/52474720
Remember:
- If there is a bike lane (like on El Camino Real) and we're in it, the first move is from the bike lane to the rightmost traffic lane.
- Wait for the rear ride leader to yell "clear!" before you move or yell "clear!"
- Move over and yell "clear!" when and only when you hear "clear!" behind you.
- Don't linger in the previous lane, move over so motorists can use that lane on our right to pass us.
- Only move over one lane at a time. Resist the urge to move all the way over to the leftmost lane. We want to all be transitioning between the same two lanes with none of us in a third lane.
- Maintain 2x2 formation throughout the process as best as you can.
NOTE: The rear ride leader may need to be assertive if there is a long stream of traffic passing us on the left. The idea is to clearly signal a lane change with a straight left arm signal from the left edge of the lane. This will encourage motor traffic to slow or change lanes to let us in. Never enter a lane with traffic that has not yielded to you! Once the rear ride leader moves into the lane and establishes right of way, then they yell "clear!"
Comments, questions or suggestions? Let me know.
