<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>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!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The office is located at 740 13<sup>th</sup> St, Suite 220. (the
Art Center Building – corner of 13<sup>th</sup> 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There’s metered car parking on the street in front,
and a pay lot at the corner of G and 13<sup>th</sup>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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 26<sup>th</sup>) 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’re still looking for a couple of things to really
spiff up the place and make it so volunteers can come help –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A computer for volunteers to use<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A storage cabinet<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Some desk chairs<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>An upholstered reading chair<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bicycling related books or reports/information about
bicycling, especially in San Diego<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A floor pump and some hand tools for bicyclists who might
come to visit<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A radio<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hope to see you soon!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
