Lakewood Estates I've received complaints through the Lakewood Homeowners Association about "inappropriate behavior" of cyclists riding through Lakewood Estates, particularly on the route taken by the 22, 20, and 18 South rides. This alleged behavior included not stopping at stop signs when traffic is present, cursing automobile drivers, and trespassing. Undoubtedly, these acts were committed by non-SPBC members. Nevertheless, please obey all traffic laws in that area (and everywhere else!) and be courteous to all drivers - even those in your way. There may residents, or police officers, monitoring that area Saturday morning, particularly the four-way stop at Columbus Way S. and Anastasia Way S. (the first stop sign north of 54th Avenue.)

EMERGENCY CONTACT INFO REGISTRATION
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles now offers an emergency contact information registration. The idea being that iyou are ever in an accident and are injured and unable to speak the officer will be able to type your driver's license number into his computer and, if you have registered your emergency contact information the DHSMV website, they will be able to pull up your contact information immediately. By having access to this information at the accident site they will be able to save time if you are seriously injured by being able to contact someone who can make decisions about your care.
