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

The 50-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.
