KIT RE-ORDER LAST AND FINAL CHANCE
We will be submitting one last final kit re-order for TCCA cycling gear. The kit design and pricing will continue to be the same as what we ordered last May and September. This will be the last chance to get any new or replacement pieces for this kit design at the current pricing. We do not plan on doing any additional kit orders or new design until 2020. All originally available items can be ordered (we will have minimums on Gloves and arm warmers) including jackets and vests
The kit order form can be found on our TCCA website and at the following link
https://www.treasurecoastcycling.com/kit-order-form.html
So if you want a spare, had damage to your bids or jersey, lost a glove, forgot to order a vest, etc. etc. now is your LAST CHANCE.
Orders will be taken until April 26, 2019 as we need to submit and finalize our order prior to the expiration of the 1 year price hold.
Any questions you can call or Text Mike MacLeod at 772-260-2938
Before we look ahead to our ride calendar for 2019, it is vital that as cyclists we actively support measures which make cycling a safer sport. Some important matters follow:
Make April 15th a New Years day ride and show up at Fort Pierce City Hall to get your lane. Meeting time: 6PM
Message from Micheal McLeod,
Big thanks to all that came out April 2nd. Your presence mattered. April 15th is an even more important date and should be treated as a New Years day TCCA ride. On the 15th, the Fort Pierce commission will vote to approve the bike lanes. If disapproved by them, the dangerous status quo is maintained and the prospects of another chance to get a bike lane will be very slim.
There is well organized opposition from the SBA to protect they privilege to a second lane on the bridge. Are we equally organized to fight for the lane we have a RIGHT to?
In addition there is a link to a survey that is open until 4/12
Or feel free to pen a letter (or use this form letter)
Please use this form letter to contact Peter Buchwald regarding the Bicycle Lanes for the South Causeway Bridge. You can either print, sign and mail a copy or email a signed copy to buchwaldp@stlucieco.org
Feel free to pass it along to friends and family, time is of the essence.
Thank you for helping to make cycling safer in our community!!!!

Dear Mr. Buchwald,
It is with great enthusiasm that I give my support to the proposed South Causeway Bridge Reconfiguration to implement bicycle lanes.
The implementation of bicycle lanes on the South Causeway Bridge will greatly improve conditions for bicyclist and pedestrians, like myself. The bike lanes will create the kind of safe, convenient accommodations that will encourage and allow me, my family, and community members to safely bike, run, or walk across the South Causeway Bridge. This change will be one of the most consequential in providing safe and friendly roadway accommodations for non-drivers in the region.
I commend the St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization for recognizing and moving forward to get this worthwhile and imminently beneficial project implemented for our community.
Sincerely,
2019 RIDES AND SOCIAL EVENT
