SDBC Member Involved in Serious Accident

Click for large rimageOn the morning of October 18, SDBC member Julian Wright was riding his bike and struck by a car in the intersection of Miramar Rd and Kearny Villa Rd, which resulted in life-threatening injuries. He is no longer in ICU, but his condition is still serious. A few of us visited him separately and, though saddened to see that he is still semi-responsive, we could tell that he was glad we were there. It will do him a world of good if you are able to pay him a visit. Please feel free to visit Julian at Kaiser Zion Hospital, Rm 3303A, and please keep him in your thoughts & prayers.

A Note From The Bike Coalition Liaison

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

Safety tip of the week: When merging left… don’t wedge the cars! Turn from the rear!

  1. Leader signals left (but does not yet move left).
  2. You signal left when you see someone in front of you signal left.
  3. Last person makes sure it’s clear, yells “clear!”, and moves left.  
  4. When you hear “clear!” behind you, double-check (look back), yell “clear!” to those ahead, and then you move left.
  5. Communicate! Person on the right follows lead of person on his or her left. Stay together. Look PRO!
