Do you shop at Amazon.com? If so, it' 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.

2020 SDBC Kit Design

You can order 2020 Club kit anytime, but if you want it to arrive in time for the Borrego Springs Racing camps you must order by midnight, December 12th. (The store actually closes sometime mid-day mountain standard time Friday 12-13. Order by 12-12 to be sure you make the cut-off.)

All SDBC pricing for 2020 Club kit is now 15% BELOW Pactimo’s suggested retail price.  This means prices have dropped for almost all items in the Club’s store.

PLUS you can save $20 - $50 more

To order, go to Teamstore.pactimo.com then enter the NEW password studloop2sbcc.

Join San Diego Bicycle Club for the 32nd annual "Light Up A Life Holiday Toy Ride" on Saturday, Dec. 14th, to benefit the Salvation Army. The ~40-mile round trip ride starts at 8:30 am at UC Cyclery located at La Jolla Village Square.

Riders are asked to bring an unwrapped toy to carry to the Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center, located at University Ave. and 69th Street. Led by Santa Claus, the ride is holiday pace (slow), and everyone is welcome. The Salvation Army is collecting toys for children of all ages–toys for older children are especially appreciated–as well as canned or boxed nonperishable food.

 
Decorate your bike in the holiday spirit. Prizes will be awarded before the ride begins to the best-decorated adult rider, junior rider, and tandem riders.

Every year the Salvation Army invites hundreds of San Diego families to select from the toys collected at the holiday distribution center.
