"Join the SFBC and your fellow bike lovers for the first of our free summer bike-in movies! We'll be kicking off with the beloved BMX cult classic Rad, featuring the amazingly infamous bike dance scene and a young Aunt Becky.

"Learn the names of the parts of the wheel. Learn how to adjust a bike hub and true a wheel. Learn the importance of spoke tension for keeping your wheel in good shape in this hands on bike maintenance class at Box Dog Bikes. Classes are limited to 4 people, so there is plenty of time to ask questions."

Everyone is welcome.

"Hey masochists, get those granny gears oiled up -- Seven Hells is back with seven (and then some) of the City's most devilish climbs. Be prepared for some very strenuous climbs and long flat rides: Twin Peaks, Mt. Davidson, Ocean Beach to Legion of Honor, Seacliff and GG Bridge, Divisadero, Nob Hill, 21st St. in the Mission and Clipper. We'll be going around 45 miles (route as PDF). With breaks and a moderate pace, this ride should take around 4-1/2 hours. Strong riders only please. We will make every reasonable effort to stay together as a group. Rest stops announced on day of the ride."

"Come and speak your mind about bicycle issues in San Francisco. This eleven member committee meets once a month and advises the Board of Supervisors on all matters bicycle. Check the BAC website to confirm these dates and read the agenda. Contact Bert Hill, chair of the BAC, to place an issue on the agenda or to request notice of meetings."

"Rubber Side Down is the story of two amateur Canadian cyclists who pedaled over 4900 miles in an effort to shed light on Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis. All proceeds will benefit the Crohn's and Colitis Foundations of America and Canada."

"Turn your gift of gab into bike improvements when you volunteer at the SFBC's Phone Banking Night. The SFBC's phone banking team has been very successful at helping members who have forgotten to renew. We call friendly members to let them know their membership has lapsed. (No cold calling!) It's that easy. Hang out with a fun bunch of cool cyclists and enjoy a tasty dinner on us."

"Join Team In Training and train for a cycle century ride (100 miles) while raising funds to fight blood cancer! Learn more at a Team In Training Information Meeting near you."

"This SFBC tradition every second and fourth Wednesday has been happening for as long as we can remember, but newcomers are always welcome. So stop by, snack on tasty treats, chat with fellow cyclists, and help us keep our organization rolling. Dinner is provided. Bring a friend - the more the merrier! Don't forget to bring up your bike!"
