1. That area bike shops, with the GCC membership discount you will receive, can often beat the prices of mail order dealers like Nashbar, Performance, and Colorado Cyclist. Patronize your local bike shops.
2. That the Gainesville-Pedestrian Coordinator offers a free newsletter concerning local bike activities and events. Call (334-2107) and ask to be placed on the mailing list.
3. That they call it Gatorade because it was developed right here in Gainesville at UF.
4. That the telephone book has coupons in it that can be used to reduce your repair costs at local bike shops.
5. That one of the best sun screens available is only $6 for 16 oz. An SPF 45 lotion with almost no odor, which is waterproof, sweat proof and not as greasy as most others, is available at K-Mart and Publix. Look for NO-AD Solar Babies in a pink bottle with a purple top.
6. That Gainesville has consistently been listed as one of the most bicycle friendly places on earth. (Quite possibly the universe!) If you're not biking, you're missing out!
