| A Note From The Bike Coalition Liaison |
New Bike Coalition Website
Remember, SDBC membership includes membership in the San Diego County Bike Coalition which includes a number of benefits. The Bike Coalition is changing its logo, website and other materials to reflect that most people refer to it as "the bike coalition" rather than SDCBC. This is particularly good for SDBC because SDBC and SDCBC can get confused. So, the new coalition website is at http://sdbikecoalition.org. Check it out!
