Happy New Year from the SFBC Staff
As we roll into a new year, the SFBC would like to wish all our
10,000 members a happy 2009! Thank you to all our members for keeping
our wheels turning with your annual membership contribution and
year-end giving. Your support and belief in our organization allows us
to be successful in making San Francisco Streets healthier and safer
for all that ride. We can't do it without you!
Bike Ed at SFBC Thursday
No matter what your age or experience level you're certain to come away
a better, safer cyclist after you've taken one of our Bike Ed classes,
taught by a crack team of League Certified Instructors. This Thursday,
January 8, join us in the cozy confines of the SFBC's headquarters for
the four hour Day One in-classroom course, which teaches the basics of
safe and enjoyable cycling, including riding in traffic, necessary
equipment, crash avoidance, and legal rights and responsibilities. The
class is open to adults 14 and over; bicycle not required. Every Bike Ed
class is free, but you must register -- sign up right now online!
Celebrate Supe-r Thursday
After November's amazing election where 5 of the 6 supervisor
candidates we endorsed were elected to office, we're ready to
celebrate! The official Swearing In Ceremony will be at noon in the
Legislative Chambers at City Hall, followed by office warming parties
in many of the new Supervisors' offices. These events are a great time
to introduce yourself and let these fresh faces in City Hall know that
you care about making SF a more bike friendly city. Wear your SFBC
gear and introduce yourself and let them know why you are an SFBC
member. Later that evening, some of the supervisors will celebrate
from 8-10 PM at Temple Bar (540 Howard St, between 1st and 2nd St) at
an informal event with some comedy and libations at The People's
Inauguration featuring 'Roasted Supe'. 2009's City Hall is looking
bright!
