Dear Bike Manufacturers,
All of the people writing in this post, myself included, are in dire need of bicycles that come with chain guards. Some or us may ride for recreation, but all of us ride...
Thanks for the quick reply. I did have the pleasure to check out the Bike House a few weeks back. They helped me replace swap out a cracked pedal. Now I have a wheel that may require a "rebuild"...

I'd like to check out the Mt. Rainier Bike Co-op. Google Maps says it's 1.6 miles from the West Hyattsville Metro. Does anyone know if there are any...
I agree that I'm being a little self-centered when there are people who are wheelchair bound who TRULY rely on the elevators. What I don't understand is, why are the elevators and escalators out of...
I'm finding that taking a bike onto a metro train is not a very inviting experience. It usually involves taking two separate elevators. One from ground floor to mezzanine. A second from mezzanine...
It's official: If you bike in Washington, DC there is no reason to waste your money on a GoPro video camera.

Wow! What type of tires/tubes do you have, and where do you do most of your riding? Thanks!
On average, how many miles do you ride in between flat tires? What type of tires do you have?
I've ridden 1,000 to 1,500 miles within Washington, DC with no flat tires. Tires were stock mountain...
Name the closest intersection the last time you heard the dreaded hisssssssss.
If anyone knows how to throw together a crowd sourcing type map, that would be even better! Maybe we can identify...
Thanks for all the tips guys. In the summer I know there will be times when I travel with no bag, etc, so I think I'm going to try out the aqua seal. I'll put the map in my back pocket (balances...
When it comes to mapping my way to new destinations, I'm old-school. I refer to a hardcopy of the DC Bike Map. I keep the map in a jacket pocket, bookbag or in my jeans back pocket as I ride. If I...
Thanks guys!
Thanks Dave. Generally I'm looking to connect from Chinatown area to Stanton Park area. It appears that there are few good east-west connections between NW and NE DC. From Chinatown, it looks like...
Here's a copy of the flier they're handing out: http://1.usa.gov/Vr0hJE
Type "cabbie" into Google Images and you get a bunch of photos of yellow taxis. I'm from New Jersey. In the NYC area "cabbie" tends to refer to the driver more so than the actual taxi. "Cab" is...
I'm curious to know what specific routes people ride (transportation-wise) that involve going through or near the Stanton Park square in NE. A map or street names would be great. Any hairy...
I moved to DC recently. One observation I have about Capital Bikeshare is the abbreviation "CaBi." Many cities use the term cabby to refer to taxis. With DC being so transient, it seems silly that...
Thanks!
I stumbled upon the photo of the bike below. This is pretty much my ideal bike (minus the quick release levers and the cable lock!). I imagine the Giant brand would make it expensive, however, so...
Ah yes, Capital Bikeshare. Funny enough, I recently purchased an annual membership. Riding around on the bikeshare bikes is part of my motivation to obtain my own "beater"/utility bike. I love...
bikeplanner.org is an amazing site for planning Capital Bikeshare trips. Click on your origin and destination. In the lower left you can then check the box for "A Shared Bike." The site instantly...
I'm looking to spend $75-$200 on a used bike for commuting and running errands.
My two requirements are: 1) full fenders and 2) a basket and/or rack good for carrying styrofoam box take-out...
What street is best for crossing over Rock Creek to get to Georgetown, north of M St? Are P St and Q St good options? Thanks!
Thanks dasgeh and Tim Kelley.
