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.

SDBC 2017 Sponsors

We have some new sponsors this year - Spinergy, Bonnici Law Group, and Giuseppe Restaurants & Fine Catering.

A New Sunday Ride

This Sunday if you are not participating in the Fiesta Island Time Trial come and join a group of riders for the start of a new Sunday ride series. Start locations will vary to accomodate the ride for the day.

This week we are meeting at Java Depot at 7:45am for an 8:00am departure.

The ride:  We'll head south from Java Deport, turn on Via De La Valle and head through Rancho Santa Fe to Del Dios Hwy. We will regroup at the top of the Lake Hodges hill and then make our way through Elfin Forest, up Rancho Santa Fe Rd to La Costa Ave and then back down the coast to Java Depot.

We should be back to Java Depot by approximately 11:30am. 

This ride is intended to be SAFE and FUN.

~40 mi with ~2000 ft elevation gain

Route available on RideWithGPS or MapMyRide

Leaves UC Cyclery at 8:30, led by SDBC ride leaders, 39 miles.

Join us for a pleasant ride down Rose Canyon Bike Path, and up Soledad Mountain Road to the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial. Here, we will dismount & view the memorial wall plaques briefly, remembering what Memorial Day is all about.

We will then continue down Nautilus St. to Windansea, riding along the coast to Point Loma (to first gate), regroup, then head back through OB, with a stop at Newbreak Coffee & Cafe, before returning to UCC.

* Tandems welcome, remembering we will have the climb up Soledad Mountain Road.

Safety tip of the week: Don't get right hooked!

I know of three recent instances where motorists passed cyclists and then turned in front of them for a parking spot, causing the cyclist to crash. If you're in a bike lane or near the edge they don't even notice you when they pass. GET NOTICED: Use the full lane (even if the sign isn't there).

Got an unfair ticket - let me know! ​If you get a ticket you did not deserve, let me know and I'll try to help, or at least keep track of where cyclists are getting harassed by law enforcement.

Bike to Work Day is Thursday, May 18, 2017!

Remember: your SDBC membership includes membership in the San Diego County Bike Coalition which includes a number of benefits. See the  coalition website at sdbikecoalition.org.
