Attention Riders!!!   SCBC is going green.
Starting May 1 all SCBC riders are asked to bring their own map to club rides.   Ride leaders will no longer be responsible for supplying ride maps.   The logistics of adequately supplying ride leaders with maps has become nearly insurmountable.   The time has come to take full advantage of our online library for map distribution.   Maps can be easily downloaded from our website map library and printed.   And don't forget, maps can be saved and reused!

Sales from this special plate will fund bicycle safety education in Ohio and the publication of Street Smarts. The plate can be purchased even if you are not renewing your registration at this time.
