[SDCBC] New Bicycle Coalition office officially open!

[Kathy Keehan]

It's official.  The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition has opened an office
for people to come, meet, work on Coalition business, volunteer, or just
hang out. Come by and see us sometime!

 

The office is located at 740 13th St, Suite 220. (the Art Center Building -
corner of 13th and F in downtown San Diego) It's a security building, so
either buzz (number 002) or just yell up to the windows to the right of the
doorway - we'll let you in. We're sharing space with WalkSanDiego (thanks
guys!!) so if you are lucky you'll get to meet their excellent staff when
you come by, too.

 

There's no bike parking on the street, yet, but you can bring your bike into
the office. There's a nice big elevator to take it up, so you don't have to
schlep it up the stairs. 

There's metered car parking on the street in front, and a pay lot at the
corner of G and 13th. 

The trolley stops a few blocks away at Park and Market (come east a block
and north about two blocks to get to the building).

 

I'm planning on staffing the office Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays,
8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Unless I'm in a meeting or otherwise engaged, I'll be
there. I go to a lot of meetings, so if you want to make sure someone is
going to be there, just give me a call. 

 

To inaugurate the space, we'll be having volunteer night (6:30 p.m.
Wednesday, September 12) and the Coalition board meeting (7:00 p.m.
Wednesday, September 26th) in the office. Feel free to come by early either
night to have a bit of a drink and/or a snack and see our new home.

 

We're still looking for a couple of things to really spiff up the place and
make it so volunteers can come help -

A computer for volunteers to use

A storage cabinet

Some desk chairs

An upholstered reading chair

Bicycling related books or reports/information about bicycling, especially
in San Diego

A floor pump and some hand tools for bicyclists who might come to visit

A radio

 

We have a library of materials for bicyclists, including newsletters from
other organizations around the state and country, books about bike riding,
racing, and maintenance, and project plans and reports about projects around
the county. Most of the reports and newsletters need to stay in the office,
but the books are available to checkout for Bicycle Coalition members. 

 

If you are interested in coming down to the office during the day to
volunteer (there's some serious filing to do, and there's a project database
that needs created and updated, and there's always research and design work
to be done) just let me know and I'll be happy to arrange times!

 

Hope to see you soon!
