Bike Lights and Bike Kitchen Cards – Great Holiday Gifts

For the rest of the month of December our Bike SLO County light sets (One Clear Front Light, One Red Rear Light) are on sale for only $10 a set (normally $15 a set). These basic lights will help you be seen at night while also making your bicycle night ride legal. It’s hard to have too many lights on your bike, but with this set at least you won’t have too few. Batteries included? Heck yeah!

Also available now are our Bike Kitchen Cards, prepaid cards allowing the bearer to use the Bike Kitchen. Cards come in three different versions: KitchenCardHolidaysOne Visit Card ($5), Four Visit Card ($18) and 8 Visit Card ($35).

Bicyclist Accident Report

/in /by

If you’ve ever been in an accident, you know how difficult it catch your bearings and get the information of everyone involved. Luckily, Josh Zisson has thought about this, and created the Bicyclist Accident Report.

Carrying one of these little guys with you lets you easily get the basic information you need to get compensated for medical costs associated with your accident/collision. On the back they have included the laws that apply to bicycles as well.

They are specific to New York, where Zisson is from, but the idea is fantastic. Here at the SLO County Bicycle Coalition, we’ve adopted a similar idea and included steps on what to do if you’re in a crash on the back of our member cards.
