San Diego Cycling Public participation in SD Design Week was a big success. SDCP now gets to work creating a real Cycling Public Center … in Liberty Station! We’ll renovate old NTC Barrack 191 into the future home for all things cycling in San Diego and northern Baja. This Richard Opper Interview(videolightbox) unveils the project and our epic location.
