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.

A Note From The Bike Coalition Liaison

If you're ever nervous in traffic (and who isn't?) you can almost certainly benefit from taking a step back and thinking about traffic cycling dynamics and safety. The CyclingSavvy program is the best and my friends there now offer FREE membership which includes access to their Essentials course. Please, check out their totally revamped website, and let me know what you think!
http://www.cyclingsavvy.org
Coalition Board of directors elections are coming. All Coalition members can vote, which means all SDBC members can vote. Watch your email Inbox for the electronic ballot.
This is the first serious article I've ever seen about my favorite cycling topic - the legality and safety of bicyclists using the full lane - in any prominent general media. Forbes! Please read.
