From Dr. Bob, Bike Mechanic 

Bicycle tune-ups are now closed.  The queue is full for this week and after that, there are only two weeks left until the RAC.  The two weeks before the RAC are reserved for last-minute repairs.  If there is something wrong with your bike (e.g. it won't shift right or the chain keeps falling off), contact me so we can get it fixed.

The Nine Cities Ride 

1910 Harbor Island Drive 

Please arrive by 7:15 am. We start promptly at 7:30 am. 

  • The Nine Cities Ride turns around at the ferry landing in Coronado and is - for the most part- an ‘out and back’ ride. 

  • There will be no ferry ride. 

  • Instead, we get to ride through nine cities: San Diego, National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, Coronado, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, National City, and San Diego. That is fantastic. 

  • Prepare for heavy pedestrian traffic at the Embarcadero on the return trip. 

    • Be prepared to walk. Pedestrians have the right of way. 

    • The Port Authorities are cracking down on and limiting bike access to his area. 

      • E-bikes are already banned. 

      • Please do what you can to keep this route open for cyclists.
