"The SFBC wants to help more people substitute just one short car trip with a bicycle trip just one day a week. So, encourage a friend or coworker to pedal with you to an SFBC Energizer Station on Gas-Free Fridays and fuel up on coffee and snacks. In San Francisco, half of all driving trips are under two miles in length, a distance easily traveled by bicycle."

"The SFBC will be at the SF Transportation Fair talking about biking for everyday transportation."

"The Bike Quilt top is ready for quilting! Please come join us at a weekly drop-in quilting bee on Wednesdays from September 23 to October 28. No quilting experience necessary, but comfort with a needle and thread is helpful. Instruction and snacks provided. The quilt will be raffled off at Winterfest in December to raise money for the SFBC."

"In the 1970s, Copenhagen was an automobile-centered city. Huge public demonstrations in the early 1980s resulted in significant changes in the transportation infrastructure and in the years since it has become of one the preeminent cycling cities in the world. How and why did this change come about? What kind of policies and design principles were put in place to make Copenhagen such a cycling-friendly city? What has been the result of this change? This round table Q&A session features Niels Jensen, Senior Traffic Planner, City of Copenhagen, along with other Danish, Dutch, Belgian and German bicycle transportation policy professionals."

"Got the gift of gab? Volunteer to phone bank with the SFBC! No cold calling, just simple reminders to friendly lapsed SFBC members that their membership is expired. Come share in the fun. The more the merrier! We supply dinner and good company."
