Oh hello July! Where did you come from?

Here at the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition we had a busy June/Pride Month. There were classes, conversations, Love to Ride challenges and we did our first community event since COVID-19. With our friends at Bikes del Pueblo to repaired more than 55 bikes and distributed more than 70 free helmets, locks and lights. (See photo above!)

We also started a Youtube Channel in order to make bike safety information more accessible. Click the link below to check it out! There are lots of new videos in the works, including a read-along kids book/coloring book about bike safety.

Well friend, you've made it this far in the newsletter, so go on! Find out what we're up to in July, sign up for a class, and contribute to the Better by Bike Scavenger Hunt (in Mid-City).
