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.

Saturday,
December 8th

Tell your buddies, call a friend, post it on your social media page - just get the word out!

Join San Diego Bicycle Club for the 31st annual "Light Up A Life Holiday Toy Ride" on Saturday, Dec. 8th, to benefit the Salvation Army. 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.

Thanks everyone who voted in the Coalition board elections. Our own Linda Webb got the most votes!

One of my internet cycling advocacy friends, engineer, blogger and author of "Bicycling StreetSmarts",  John S. Allen, quoted me in his club's newsletter this week.  I was rambling about why groups often pass other cyclists too closely.  Take a look and let me know what you think.
